A compact animal waste collector kit includes a hinged lid receptacle which is sized and shaped to be hand-held and support an animal waste bag; and an animal waste bag sized and shaped to fit over an open end of the hinged lid receptacle and in the hinged lid receptacle.

A guidance vehicle guides a dog for a walk, and includes a leash attachment, a distance sensor, and an electronic control unit. The leash attachment is configured to attach a leash that connects the dog. The distance sensor is configured to detect a dog-to-vehicle distance being a distance between the dog and the guidance vehicle. The electronic control unit is configured to execute a travel control of the guidance vehicle. The electronic control unit includes, as one of modes of the travel control, a walk guidance mode that causes the guidance vehicle to automatically travel along a walk route while guiding the dog to walk. The walk guidance mode executed by the electronic control unit includes a basic walk mode that controls the dog-to-vehicle distance so as to maintain a constant distance when the dog is moving along the walk route.

An automated road sweeper is provided including transport apparatus suitable to allow the sweeper to travel on a road surface including debris, a plurality of cleaning members arranged at fixed points located in different portions of the sweeper and suitable for cleaning within predetermined cleaning areas, and a selector operatively connected to the cleaning members, suitable for scanning the road surface and locating the debris so as to select and exclusively operate the cleaning members, the cleaning area of which covers the debris during the movement of the sweeper.

The present disclosure relates generally to a roadway debris clearing system that can be concealed within, or behind, a standard push bumper of a safety patrol vehicle. The roadway debris clearing system may include a debris clearing device that is disposed between the vehicle motor and the front bumper. The debris clearing device can be deployed from a retracted position to an extended position where the device is capable of pushing debris from a roadway. The debris clearing device, when in the retracted position, may be concealed behind the front bumper of the vehicle. The roadway debris clearing system includes a camera system to observe an area in front of the vehicle as well as under the front bumper while clearing debris using the debris clearing device.
