01 — CURRENT PROJECT

PoopBot / Autonomous Outdoor Robotics R&D

A practical problem deserves serious engineering.

PoopBot is an R&D-stage robotics project focused on detecting dog waste and, ultimately, enabling autonomous collection in outdoor environments. Development currently includes computer-vision detection and target-handling foundations, with further robotics integration and validation still required.

R&D

Current position

Engineering foundations in progress.

PoopBot remains under development. Further robotics integration, real-world validation and product engineering are required before commercial deployment.

03 — OUR STORY

Every idea that changes life often begins with love.

Sam and Hairly
Sam & Hairly
Hairly
Hairly

Sam walked with us through the hardest years—the long days, the uncertain nights, and the moments when giving up felt easier than carrying on. He never asked for anything in return. He simply stayed by our side.

Hairly entered our lives in another chapter. Fluffy, joyful and full of vitality, she reminded us that the world still holds so much warmth—and so much worth looking forward to.

They are more than pets. They are family.

They made us ask: if technology could reduce the tedious and tiring, could we give people back more time for what truly matters—the moments of companionship?

Samlyn Robotics was born from that question.

Because every walk, every morning and every moment spent with a beloved companion is worth cherishing.

For every dog that has ever changed a person’s life.

04 — LOOKING AHEAD

Built through focused collaboration.

SAMLYN ROBOTICS is interested in robotics research, university and engineering collaboration, and the future commercialisation of practical autonomous systems.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Clear answers about PoopBot’s current development stage and intended direction.

Can I buy PoopBot now?

Not yet. PoopBot is in research and development and is not available for general sale.

We are continuing to develop and test AI vision, target tracking, mechanical collection systems, and future robot-control and integration capabilities.

Join the PoopBot waitlist to receive important development updates and future launch information.

How is PoopBot designed to work?

PoopBot is intended to become an autonomous outdoor robot that helps dog owners manage dog-waste cleanup in their yards.

The design direction includes using AI vision to find and track dog-waste targets so that the robot may eventually approach them autonomously, collect and contain the waste, and operate with outdoor mobility and autonomous-control systems.

These are product-development goals. Some capabilities remain in development, integration and validation.

What stage of development has PoopBot reached?

PoopBot has progressed beyond a concept-only stage, with practical AI-vision, software and mechanical-design work under way.

Dog-waste detection models and target-tracking and search-related software systems have been developed, with model evaluation and improvement continuing.

Mechanical structures and the collection mechanism remain in development. Physical robot mobility control, full-system integration and formal product validation are not yet complete. PoopBot therefore remains a robotics product in R&D, not a finished or production-ready product.

Has PoopBot completed pet-safety validation?

Not yet.

Pet safety is an important design requirement for PoopBot, but the complete physical robot and the associated safety validation have not been completed.

As the hardware, mobility control and collection system progress, further controlled testing and safety validation will be required before formal claims can be made about the final product’s safety performance.

Have PoopBot’s price and launch date been confirmed?

Not yet.

PoopBot remains in R&D, so final product specifications, pricing, launch timing and sales arrangements may change as engineering and testing progress.

Confirmed information will be announced through official channels.
