GroundSage SCOOP Model 1
Introducing The SCOOP Model 1
Autonomous dog waste removal for your yard.
The SCOOP is an autonomous rover that detects and collects dog waste in your yard automatically. It navigates your outdoor space, identifies deposits using onboard computer vision, and removes them so you don't have to — on a daily schedule that keeps your lawn consistently clean without manual effort.
Estimated Retail Price: $1,200 USD Preorders are now open. Early access customers will be among the first to receive the SCOOP when production units ship.
How It Works
The SCOOP uses a combination of GPS navigation, lidar-based obstacle avoidance, and computer vision trained specifically to detect dog waste across varying sizes, conditions, and lawn types. It operates autonomously within your yard's boundary, collecting deposits on a continuous daily schedule.
No bags to buy. No scooping to schedule. No skipped cleanups because the day got busy.
Who It's For
The SCOOP is designed for dog owners who have a yard, care about maintaining it, and have reached the point where the daily manual effort of waste management feels like a problem worth solving.
It makes the most sense for:
Households with two or more dogs
Owners of large or giant breed dogs with significant daily waste volume
Families with young children who play in the yard
Anyone currently paying for a professional waste removal service
Dog owners who want a consistently clean yard without a daily manual task
Dog owners with mobility limitations
Owners of robot lawnmowers
Why Frequency Matters
Consistent daily cleanup isn't just about aesthetics. Dog waste left in a yard for even a few days causes nitrogen burn that damages grass, introduces bacterial contamination that persists in soil for months, and attracts pests including rats and flies. The lawn damage, odor, and health risks associated with dog waste all scale directly with how long it sits before removal.
Manual cleanup — even with the best intentions — rarely achieves the daily cadence that prevents these problems. The SCOOP does.
