The automated toilet comprises a toilet with a motorized pump in line with the drain pipe, a sensor, a control box, and a flush valve actuator. The sensor detects the presence of a user in front of the toilet and notifies the control box. When a user arrives, the control box starts the pump to draw air through the rim and into the sewer line, which removes odors while the toilet is being used. When the user leaves, the control box activates the flush valve actuator, causing the toilet to flush. The control box may run the pump for a predetermined time interval so that the pump may assist in emptying the bowl. When the bowl has emptied, the pump may continue to draw odors from the bowl until the control box shuts the pump off.
