Original: Trash can robot tested at Shinjuku train station
A robot designed to function as a mobile trash can is being tested at Shinjuku train station in Tokyo, one of the world's busiest railway hubs. The trial is drawing attention as a small but visible example of robots being introduced into everyday public spaces in Japan, where automation in transport and retail settings is increasingly common.
