Rb-Can

Maker Faire Bay Area 2026

September 25th-27th

Sat & Sun Exhibit Raspberry Pi

Meet RbCan. A robot that does a job of picking up empty cans. It automatically searches for a can, goes to it, picks it up, brings it to the closest bucket. Once done, it goes for another. No remote control needed! It recognizes cans and recycling baskets using AI !

In case you care, a remote-controlled kill-switch was installed to turn it off in an unlikely event of the Rise Of the Machines.
