Beetl and its designers. TNS

Playing with dogs is enjoyable for dog owners.

However, it is not enjoyable to clean up their smelly feces（粪便）.The good news is that a company has designed a robot to do this for us.

With its sensors and cameras, the robot, called Beetl, is able to find and scoop up what dogs leave behind. The sensors also help it avoid things like trees and cars.

People can send it off to work within their yards. They can also limit its movement to a certain area. Once it finds feces, it moves over it and uses a claw（爪子）as a scoop.The robot then puts the feces in a container（容器）.

However, the robot is still being tested. So until it is ready to go to market, dog owners will still have to scoop up after their pets.
