The difference between "can" and able to do is simple. With can, you are using your authority whereas with be able to do, there's no authority that means any body can say I will be able to do such and such things but there's no authority. Hope this helps.

"Can" and "be able to do" are generally used interchangeably to express ability or possibility. However, "can" is more commonly used in everyday language, while "be able to do" is slightly more formal. Both can be used to convey the same meaning, but "be able to do" is sometimes preferred in writing or more formal contexts.
