Oshkosh Corporation Wins CES Picks Award from TWICE for Autonomous Refuse Robot

Oshkosh recognized for its innovative Hail-able Autonomous Refuse Robot – Electric (HARR-E), which will offer refuse and recycling pickup on-demand

Oshkosh Corporation innovator of purpose-built vehicles and equipment, recently announced it was selected as a winner in this year’s CES Picks Awards. Oshkosh was recognized for its Hail-able Autonomous Refuse Robot – Electric or HARR-E™. The Picks Awards distinguish and honor those brands who are leading the way with their innovative products and creative solutions. Judged by a panel of industry experts, winning a Picks Award provides recognition for the best new products on display at CES.

With HARR-E, Oshkosh is pioneering a new way to tackle a weekly chore — taking out the trash. HARR-E is an autonomous, electric refuse collection robot that offers on-demand refuse and recycling pickup via a smartphone app or virtual at-home assistant. Using AI-enabled navigation and advanced sensors, HARR-E autonomously collects trash, then returns to a central collection area.

With advanced AI and robotics, Oshkosh’s Pratt Miller business unit developed a prototype system that optimizes efficiency and logistics to complement traditional refuse collection services and redefine day-to-day refuse collection for modern, master-planned communities and businesses.

“Self-driving technology will play an increasing role in our daily lives. HARR-E is a great example of how autonomous technology can make chores like taking out the trash a thing of the past,” said Jay Iyengar, executive vice president, chief technology and strategic sourcing officer, Oshkosh Corporation. “The Oshkosh team is proud to be recognized with this prestigious honor, as we continue to develop innovative solutions in electrification, AI, autonomy and connectivity to help keep communities clean and support a sustainable future.”

The awards’ editorial team shared, “The Picks Awards recognize outstanding products across consumer technology, the custom installation industry and innovative new technology that can truly help businesses of all sizes across various industries. Our team was highly impressed by the excellence and scope of this year’s entrants. All the winners should be proud of their achievements – a well-deserved congratulations from the entire awards team.”
