not certain how this would work exactly but why couldn't you affix a sensor to a dog that would let you know when his bladder was about to be full.
now you would know ahead of time that he has to go,
a computer could sound an alarm that the dog would hear and get to know and then pop open a door
to automatically let the animal out.
the implications of a silent version that you could affix to a friend , the human type could be very entertaining

As stupid as this idea is, it might be applied to diapers/babies. Just so they never go for long with a dirty diaper. Fishbone for not mentioning that. I haven't searched but I would guess a diaper alarm is already in the halfbakery files, if not, it should be. |

zeno, I think that would be a detector for after the event.
vfrackis' idea would give you a forewarning. But without
some indication of how it would work, it's not really an idea. |

You could probably put a pressure sensor and transponder
(like tyre pressure sensors) inside the bladder but (a) I don't
think bladder pressure increases a lot until just before you
really, really gotta go and (b) you'd need to stop it rolling
around and blocking the outlet. |

Perhaps direct pressure is not what you need to measure, perhaps weight on the supporting ligaments / connective tissue is what's needed. |

I'll never think of the phrase 'boldly go' the same way again. |
