Designed around collection.

Corvo is developing a full-size, cabless autonomous refuse vehicle for residential collection.

Cabless architecture

The cabless form allows the refuse body, container-handling system, and autonomy system to be organized around the collection task rather than a driver compartment.

Full-size capacity

The vehicle is intended for approximately 25 yards of refuse capacity. That target may evolve as development continues.

Automated container handling

A curb-side opening, laterally extending reach beam, lift track, and conventional opposing-arm cart grabber are part of the vehicle architecture—not an accessory added after the fact.

Electric actuation

The current design uses electric actuation and a simplified vehicle architecture. Corvo is not publishing unconfirmed propulsion, range, or performance specifications.

One operating sequence.

The physical vehicle and autonomy system are being developed around the same cycle: move, position, reach, collect, return, and continue.

Reach

The track assembly can move laterally toward a curb-side cart.

Grip

Opposed padded arms secure the cart at mid-height before lift.

Return

The mechanism reverses the approved path and retracts before travel resumes.
