Sorry sexbots, but you're not the only flame in town.

Bin collectors = trash men in American English.

I’m not surprised. I grew up in Chicago watching three guys (including the driver, who never left the cab) empty trashcans into the back of a truck, only later to see the driver of my garbage truck never get out of the cab, and a “robotic” claw doing the work.

Around here a trucks pull up beside the garbage can, an arm picks up the can and dumps it into the top of the truck. It seems a bit quicker than this robot arrangement would be, and probably cheaper. The Driver does not leave the cab.
The Swedes are simply substituting robots for men who hang on the back of the truck and jump off to go grab the cans and dump them into the back of the truck.
