IoT-based Pet Feeding Robot Design and Development

Abstract

Pets in the home need particular attention and care. They must be provided with food, beverages, and medicine as soon as possible. Due of most owners' hectic lifestyles, this job may not be as easy as anticipated. Inadequate attention to the requirements of pets may have serious consequences such as hunger and illness, among other things. In light of the above, this paper presents an Internet of Things-based automated feeder system that use the Raspberry Pi for remote control, scheduling, and intelligence. Its design and subsequent execution are anticipated to at least take care of the nutritional aspects of pets by delivering food, beverages, and medicine to pets on a schedule or as needed in the absence of the owner. As a result, the goal of this study is to automate the monitoring and feeding procedure, which is now done manually by pet owners. The four-wheeled system allows it to effortlessly climb stairs. Because of its body weight, the mechanism generates traction. The robot has applications such as remote feeding of every kind of animal from afar, remote exploration of the house to deceive thieves into believing someone is at home. It also lets you customise daily meals, keep your pet secure while you are away from home, store up to 7 pound, keep food fresh, and monitor your pet's nutrition. The robot may also prevent a person from eating a particular meal while allowing other animals to access the food. All these features attract owners of more than one animal to the robot.
