Abstract
Focusing on pet owners who have tight daily schedule or physically disabled, this project proposed a smart pet feeder system with big data processing to predict pet’s food shortage. The project aims to help pet owners to regularly feed a correct amount of food to their pet as well as to predict the pet’s food shortage. The components used in this system are hx711 load cell amplifier, ultrasonic sensor, infrared sensor and servo motor. The ultrasonic sensor and the servo motor will be connected to adafruit, an internet of things (IoT) platform which provide online dashboard to allow pet owners to retrieve data from the sensors as well as to monitor the system activities. The online dashboard will also be connected to ifttt maker, another IoT platform to enable notifications via telegram. Pet owner will be notified via telegram every time the food is dispensed from the pet feeder system and if the pet food level is low. The system will dispense pet food automatically either at pre-set time or when pet comes near the pet feeder. More, the system can also collect data of pet food level to be used for time-series prediction on food shortage. Time-series prediction will use parallel processing method in handling big data for data pre-processing.
Highlights
Adopting pets have been very popular especially in this day and time
A solution to these problems would be a smart pet feeder that could automatically dispense the correct amount of food when pets comes closer
The ultrasonic sensor is placed on top of the pet food storage
Summary
Adopting pets have been very popular especially in this day and time. This is because pets make great companions, and they are very fun to play with. This has created an issue to the owners who are busy and cannot make time to feed their pet on time with a correct amount of food. A solution to these problems would be a smart pet feeder that could automatically dispense the correct amount of food when pets comes closer. It will feature a notification on a mobile device. Big data analysis and forecasting will be done based on the data received from the sensors to provide a time-series prediction on food shortage to help owners in preparing budget for their pet‟s food. The used of Arduino controller has been studied and used previously in the development of Child Safety Car Alert System Using Arduino and GSM Module (Hazizan & Lazam, 2019)
