Haulos
haulos.tech designs and deploys fully autonomous waste collection systems, combining LiDAR-guided self-driving haulers with smart bins that sense fill levels and signal for pickup. The company's closed-loop platform handles the entire waste journey—sensing, collecting, driving, and disposal—without human intervention, and is currently launching a pilot in Dubai. Their fleet uses 360° LiDAR and radar fusion for centimeter-accurate navigation in all weather conditions.

Problem
Municipal waste collection relies on manual labor, scheduled truck routes, and static bins, leading to inefficient pickups, missed collections, and high operational costs. Drivers face demanding 24/7 schedules while cities struggle to optimize collection frequency and reduce environmental impact.
Solution
haulos.tech designs autonomous waste systems that integrate LiDAR-guided garbage trucks with smart bins for end-to-end automated collection. The self-driving haulers use 360° LiDAR and radar fusion to navigate live traffic with centimeter-level localization, while connected bins sense fill levels in real time, compact waste automatically, and signal the fleet when pickup is needed. The system handles collection, driving, and disposal without a human in the loop—robotic lift arms load bins, and the vehicle weighs and routes material at the disposal hub. The platform's fleet AI coordinates the full loop, ensuring pickups happen exactly when needed for continuous 24/7 operation.
Target Audience
Primary customers are municipal governments and city waste management authorities seeking to automate residential and commercial collection, with initial deployment targeting the Dubai municipality.
