Hi Caroline,

Whether a robot mower avoids dog poo depends on the size of the mess and your obstacle avoidance settings. On high sensitivity, most modern mowers with vision systems should detect medium-sized dog poo. However, I have a Maltese dog, and the mower doesn't detect her poo as it's simply too small.

For the apples and dog mess, you'll definitely want a mower with advanced AI camera-based obstacle avoidance to handle things that aren't in the same place every day.

Best Mark
