Problem
Traditional waste management systems rely on scheduled pickups and stationary bins, leading to accumulation of trash and debris in public spaces, especially in areas with diverse terrains or high foot traffic. Infrequent collection intervals result in unsightly pollution, negatively impacting environmental quality and public health.
Solution
Viggen Robotics offers an automated waste management solution using Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) equipped with the Zeus platform. These rovers provide daily, "free-range" trash and debris collection across various terrains, supplementing traditional methods. By autonomously navigating and collecting waste, the Zeus platform ensures cleaner public spaces and reduces the gaps in service caused by scheduled pickups. Viggen Robotics aims to improve environmental quality by proactively removing trash and debris before it accumulates.
Target Audience
Viggen Robotics targets municipalities, parks and recreation departments, commercial property owners, and other organizations responsible for maintaining clean public spaces.
