An unmanned Animal excrement collection apparatus, comprising a robotic animal dung collector 101 having a body, a propulsion system for driving the body along a ground surface, a navigation system for self-guiding the body within an environment (202 figure 2) in which animal manure is to be collected, a detection system for identifying animal excrement, a loading arrangement for picking up animal excrement, an unloading arrangement for dropping off picked up animal excrement, and a control system for controlling operations of the robotic animal excrement collector. Wherein the system comprises an animal wearable sensor 302 which is configured to detect when the animal is defecating and to send a signal to the dung collector in response. The wearable sensor may be configured to be worn on the tail of the animal and is configured to detect lifting of the tail.
