A robotic feces collection assembly for automatically collecting pet feces in a yard includes a robot that travels along ground. The robot has a storage chamber therein and a plurality of grabbers. Each of the grabbers selectively engages animal feces on the ground and positions the animal feces in the storage chamber. A guidance unit is coupled to the robot for visually detecting the animal feces on the ground. The guidance unit is electrically coupled to the robot such that the guidance unit guides the robot to the animal feces for collecting the animal fees.

A method to dispose of animal feces includes providing an autonomous aerial vehicle having a body with a plurality of rotor assemblies, an articulated claw secured to a bottom surface of the body, and a sensor secured to the body; detecting the presences of the animal feces with the sensor; activating the plurality of rotor assemblies; flying to the location of the animal feces; capturing the animal feces with the claw; flying to a disposal dropoff location; and disposing of the animal feces at the dropoff location.

A manure collecting vehicle includes: a manure collector having a manure collection port and at least one powered rotational manure conveyer to convey manure to the manure collection port as the vehicle drives through the manure; a manure holding tank in manure communication with the manure collection port, collected manure passing through the manure collection port into the manure holding tank as the vehicle drives through the manure; and, an air system to create an air pressure differential between inside the manure holding tank and outside the manure holding tank when the vehicle is driving through the manure to be collected so that the collected manure passes from the manure collection port into the manure holding tank under influence of the air differential.

The invention discloses a system for vacuuming waste having a motor module and a waste module. The motor module has an open receiving area, motor, battery, vacuum tube receiving area and handle. Multiple bag hooks are spaced along the open receiving area. Disposable bags, having a drawstring within a channel, are placed within the waste module. The drawstring has a length greater than the bag perimeter to form multiple bag loops that extend through gaps in the channel. An insert maintains the bags in an open position. The bag loops are placed on the bag hooks so that when the motor module is opened, the drawstring pulls the bag closed.

A grass comb for feces removal made up of a body, a control panel connected to the body, the panel having a first lever and a second lever, a grate, the grate connected to the first lever and the body, the grate having a raised position and a lowered position, and the state of the grate responding to a user input on the first lever, a scraper connected to the body and operably connected to the second lever, wherein the scraper is oriented such that it can move from a first position to a second position according to user input on the second lever, wherein when the grate is in the raised position, moving the scraper from the first position to the second position pushes feces off the grate and into a bag.

Generally speaking, robotic pet walker is a self propelled apparatus for walking and entertaining canine pets in the absence of its owner. The robotic pet walker is able to travel programmed travel routes, dispense treats, scoop waste, and interactively play fetch autonomously or by control of the pet owner via internet and GPS. An LCD screen can display live video of the pet owner and a speaker can broadcast the voice of the owner to interact with the pet.

A system for remote care of an animal includes a robotic animal caregiver that includes a housing, a wireless data communication system disposed within the housing and wirelessly communicatively coupled with an external data communications system, and a microprocessor in communication with the wireless data communication system disposed within the housing. The system further includes a smart collar to be worn by the animal operable to determine a geo-location and behavior information of the animal and communicate with the microprocessor.

A solid pet waste vacuum and bagging device is described. The device is equipped with a canister, collection chute, vacuum motor, and a bag cartridge. The device eliminates the need for an individual to come into any contact with pet waste, including the temperature and the smell conventionally known to emanate from pet waste. The device employs the vacuum motor to collect pet waste within the bag via the collection chute. The collection chute is lined with a plastic bag, which is sealed and released from the collection chute within the canister upon activation of a dispose button by the user. The device is powered by rechargeable batteries, and may be equipped with a charging cradle to maintain a fully charged battery.

A vacuum assisted animal feces collector is a hand-held vacuum device for automatically vacuuming animal waste into an attached waste bag to be discarded. A bag release button uncouples the bag from the device. The device also has indicator lights for presence of power and disconnected waste bag. The vacuum assisted animal feces collector eliminates handling or contact with the waste.

A pet waste collection device for suctioning up pet waste includes a receptacle, which has a pair of ports positioned therein proximate to a top of the receptacle. An adapter is attachable by a first end to one of the ports and by a second end to an intake port of an air mover. The receptacle thus is in fluidic communication with the air mover. A suction tube is selectively attachable by a first terminus to the other port so that the suction tube is in fluidic communication with the receptacle. The suction tube directs a partial pressure produced by the air mover to suction up pet waste from a surface. The pet waste enters a second terminus of the suction tube and is deposited into the receptacle.
