Picking up dog poop is probably the least enjoyable part of owning a dog. If you’re tired of doing it yourself, now you can let a robot do the job.
Get the Scoop on High-Tech Poop Scooping
A company called Beetl Robotics has come up with a machine that any dog owner would prize. It’s called the Beetl, and it does the whole messy job for you.
How does it work? If you’ve ever seen a Roomba in action, you might have an idea of how the Beetl works. It’s a compact machine that looks like a small lawnmower.
The best part about the device is that it works on its own. Beetl uses real-time image analysis to detect piles of poop in the grass. It then goes toward the poop, stops and uses a mechanical claw to pick it up.
It’s Programmable and Automatic
You can program the Beetl to stay only in your yard. There’s no chance it will start running around and picking up your neighbor’s yard poop, unless you want it to.
Beetl puts the scooped poop inside a disposable container that you can lift out and toss in the trash.
Where Can You Get A Pooper Scooper Robot?
We know what you’re thinking. You’ve got to get a Beetl before you pick up any more stinky, icky dog poop or step in a forgotten pile of it. Unfortunately, the robot is still in development and not yet ready for the public. With luck, it will be available for all your Christmas gift-giving next year.

Deby0316 says
I agree!!
K says
My thought exactly
Mer says
The article said
Beetl puts the scooped poop inside a disposable container that you can lift out and toss in the trash.
Robin jo Smith says
How can we get one? WHat is the price?
Sheryl says
Ok but there has to be parts that touch the poop that will need to be cleaned.
Dianne says
I was thinking the same thing. Especially if the poop was soft. And does it ever miss a poop & run over it?
A. Anderson says
I need this.
Lana says
Looks wonderful. Provided it doesn’t get stuck with poop un it as a Rhoda can do when you have naughty puppies
Curtis says
Yes!
Anonymous says
Might I suggest making size options. Not everyone has lol terrier dogs. Some of us have dogs that poop human sized. Or multiple dogs. If it could empty itself into a container when full that’d be even better.
Jason says
Exactly…and some poop like horses. As slow as that gadget was scooping it up, my dog would already ate and been behind it poopin again…twice to it’s one scoop..lol
Dee Dee says
I have 2 Bullmastiffs and would love something like this if it works. Talking big loads here, 2 to 3 times a day. Does it signal somehow when it is full. Disposable containers just be affordable. Does it work in the rain? Would love to test it.
Dom says
I have a cane corso Italian mastiff. I bet money one of hers would fill this thing 🤣
Jeanne primosch says
I agree. I have 2. One lab and one lab/pit a bigger size might be better for some of us..

Yes PLEASE!! With 7 dogs that average 80 lbs, I could use an industrial size robot. I would definitely buy one of these.

Yes!!! That would be superb 💡 idea! Lol
Glenda says
What about cleaning it? That’s got to be worse then picking the poop and tossing it away?
Katie B says
The article says it goes into a disposable container…
Kay Van Ho says

Would this also pick up the soft squishy poo? Our current pooper scooper has claws similar to this and we can never get all of it without making a mess.
Carol says
Looking for information on this where I can get it price etc
Kirk Hvinden says
Seems like it might have a problem with multiple “loads” in the yard. 5 dogs can leave a lot of yard fudge all around. Not sure how it would work picking up multiple piles of this as it would fill up quick with multiple dogs if it is able to pick up multiple piles without having to empty after each one. The way it looked is it opens its jaws to pick up the mess and then trims any grass that may be caught in jaws. How about the next pile it would have to open the jaws again to pick up the new pile and at that point would then drop the existing poop it has picked up to be able to open jaws and grab next pile. Is this a workable issue. I love the idea but it looks like it may need to be tested out on multiple pile issues before releasing out to public. Just my two cents worth. Keep at it though I really do think there is a market for some type of automated land mine picker upper.. lol
Dianne says
Please let me know when it becomes available.
Crystal Holtsclaw says

Marcy Ryckman says
Fenced in quarter acre 2 boxers 🙌🏼 I’ll test it out
April says
I have 9 german shepherds. TAKE MY MONEY IS ALL I GOT TO SAY!!!
Cheryl Parker says
It’s a good idea but I just don’t see it being affordable or truly feasible. I would never be able to run it while my dogs are out, they would kill it. The bags will probably not be very cheap and only a few to a pack. Can it be used in the snow? Not practical if it can’t. What about holes the dogs have dug, will it go through them or get stuck in them? I can’t help but compare it to a automated litter box. I bought one of those. Not cheap and neither were the bags. It was ok for 1 cat. When I got a 2nd cat, I had to go back to a regular cat box. The automated one kept getting too full and then get jammed. Not fun to tend to. Save your money and get a little fresh air and exercise, just watch your step.
Mary Schweizer says
Definitely want to be informed when this becomes available, IF it will work on artificial grass. In SO. CAL, we don’t have the real stuff.

Cindy says
This sounds great and all, but what about the large breed dog’s. Is it big, and heavy enough that a large prey bird cannot pick it up. As well as the cost of the robot, and the bags that go inside of it. It is a great idea, however are we not making it easier for humans to become lazy?
Heather Hamblin says
I would like to but a Beetl. Please send me information
Jennifer says
Make sure your wheels are fat enough to go over snow and ice. I live in Anchorage Ak. I pay for someone to come by every week to pick up poop. If this is affordable and will operate in snow and ice, I’ll buy it in a sec!!!!

The idea is great, but who cleams Beetl? Also, after a rain and the poop is soft????UGH!
