Animal excrement collection apparatus, comprising a robotic animal excrement collector (101) having a body, a propulsion system for driving the body along a ground surface, a navigation system for self-guiding the body within an environment in which animal excrement (103) is to be collected, a detection system for identifying animal excrement, a loading arrangement for picking up animal excrement, an unloading arrangement for dropping off picked up animal excrement, and a control system for controlling operations of the robotic animal excrement collector. An animal excrement collection system comprising an autonomous robotic animal excrement collector programmed to: a) navigate within an area to be cleared of animal excrement, b) pick up animal excrement from a first location, and c) deliver collected animal excrement to a second location. A base station (102) for use with an autonomous robotic animal excrement collector. An animal wearable sensor device (301, 302) for use with an autonomous robotic animal excrement collector. |
