The preset novel animal feces collection and storage system includes a stationary garage portion and a mobile robot portion. The stationary garage portion includes a garage housing, a door operationally connected to the garage housing, a door opener assembly connected to the garage housing and operationally connected to the door, a raised platform disposed within the garage housing, a ramp extending from the raised platform toward the door, an aperture formed through the raised platform, a bin disposed below the aperture, a charge port positioned within the garage housing, a power source operationally connected to the charge port, a first microprocessor positioned within the garage housing and operationally connected to the power source, a first transceiver operationally connected to the first microprocessor and to the power source, and a weight scale operationally connected to the bin, the power source, and the first microprocessor. The robot include a housing, spaced front and real axels operationally connected to the housing, spaced wheels operationally connected to each respective axel, a motor within the housing and operationally connected to the at least one respective axel, a battery disposed within the housing and operationally connected to the motor, a power jack extending through the housing and connected to the battery, a pan assembly operationally connected to the housing, a second microprocessor, a forward sensor assembly mounted to the housing and operationally connected to the second microprocessor, a guidance unit operationally connected to the second microprocessor and to at least one respective axel, a GPS transponder operationally connected to the robot housing, and to the second microprocessor, and a transceiver operationally connected to the second microprocessor. The microprocessor receives images from the forward sensor assembly and directs the guidance unit to steer the mobile robot to feces deposits. The second microprocessor sends signals to deploy the pan assembly to pick up feces deposits for transport back to the garage housing to be deposited into the bin.

PET DROPPINGS LOCATOR AND RECTIFICATION SYSTEM
20250338816 · 2025-11-06 ·

A system and method for detecting and responding to pet urination and defecation events is disclosed. A pet-worn motion capture device equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and wireless transceiver transmits data to a base station or mobile application. A machine learning model running on the device classifies the pet's behavior in real time and signals when a urination or defecation event is detected. Upon classification, the system records the pet's location using one or more localization methods, including angle-of-arrival triangulation, phase-based ranging, GPS, or camera-based visual positioning. A notification is sent to the pet owner with the event type and location, enabling clean-up. In some embodiments, a robotic unit may be deployed to perform automated retrieval or rinsing based on the location data. The system operates with minimal pet-mounted hardware and can be configured for standalone operation or integrated with additional sensors, mapping data, or user-defined parameters.
