Dogdrones is a Fleet of Aerial and Rolling Robots, Designed to Clean Dog Poop Off of the Streets
There are drones to deliver pizza, drones which follow people around taking selfies – but someone has just come up with something a little more useful.
Dogdrones is a fleet of aerial and rolling robots, designed to work as a team to clean the streets of dog poop.
The system consists of two units – Watch Dog and Patrol Dog – which are already under test in prototype form.
Watch Dog is a flying drone which spots dog poop by looking for warm spots (in other words, fresh ones).
It then transmits coordinates to Patrol Dog, a rolling ground drone which scoops up and disposes of the poop.
Tinki, the start-up behind the idea, says, “By receiving GPS coordinates PD1 gets the command to immediately dispose of the dog poop.
With a camera and thermal imaging WD1 is scanning its environment. The drone is able to detect dog poop while it still has the body temperature of the dog.”
