Haulos
Haulos designs fully autonomous waste collection systems combining LiDAR-guided self-driving haulers with smart bins that sense fill levels and signal pickups. The platform runs the entire waste journey—sensing, collecting, driving, and disposing—without human intervention, with centimeter-level LiDAR accuracy and 24/7 operation. The company is currently piloting its first fleet of 10 autonomous haulers in Dubai.

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 provides an end-to-end autonomous waste system where LiDAR-guided haulers and smart bins work as one closed loop. Self-driving trucks 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. Robotic lift arms load bins and the vehicle performs weighing and routing at the disposal hub without human involvement. The platform's fleet AI coordinates the complete journey—sensing, collecting, driving, and disposing—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.
Features
- Spinning LiDAR domes provide centimeter-accurate 3D mapping of bins and streets, day or night, in dust or rain
- Self-driving haulers feature 360° LiDAR plus radar fusion for redundant sensing and reliable navigation in live traffic
- Smart bins include real-time fill sensing, auto-compaction, and a beacon system for precise hauler docking
- Robotic auto-lift arms and autonomous disposal hub integration log and route material without human involvement
- Self-routing fleet AI coordinates the fleet and determines optimal collection sequences based on bin signals
- No-cab truck design eliminates the need for a driver, with all operations managed through the connected platform
