Animal feces collecting robot

An automated animal feces collection and storage system comprising:

• a stationary garage portion;
• and
• a mobile robot portion;
• wherein the stationary garage portion further comprises:
• 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;
• wherein the mobile robot further comprises:
• a robot housing;
• spaced front and real axels operationally connected to the robot housing;
• spaced wheels operationally connected to each respective axel;
• a motor disposed within the robot housing and operationally connected to the at least one respective axel;
• a battery disposed within the robot housing and operationally connected to the motor;
• a power jack extending through the robot housing and connected in electric communication with the battery;
• a pan assembly operationally connected to the robot housing and further comprising:
• a generally flat elongated pan member;
• a first articulated armature connected to the robot housing and to the generally flat elongated pan member;
• a first servo operationally connected to the first articulated armature and to the battery;
• a roller;
• a second articulated armature connected to the robot housing and to the roller;
• a second servo operationally connected to the second articulated armature and to the battery;
• a second microprocessor operationally connected to the battery, to the first servo, to the second servo, and to the motor;
• 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 robot transceiver operationally connected to the second microprocessor;
• wherein the microprocessor receives images from the forward sensor assembly and directs the guidance unit to steer the mobile robot to feces deposits;
• wherein 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.
