Yes, you probably really don’t NEED this, but some people may well think they do.
The video in the linked article below, from a lightning talk at a conference, gives a pretty good overview of how it works, and some of the thought process involved in getting it to where it is now. And while Caleb’s PoopCopter is clearly still a prototype, it’s easy to get the gist. Combining data from the previous poop-adjacent efforts, Caleb has built a quadcopter that can (or will, someday) be guided to the approximate location of the offending package, home in on it using a downward-looking camera, and autonomously whisk it away.
