IOT BASED SMART PET CARE SYSTEM

Abstract: Pet ownership is soaring each year. People love their pets and vice versa, but taking care of pets when you are not at home is a problematic issue .so the demand for high quality pet care products are increasing. In this paper we aim at designing a pet day-care robot that can monitor as well as feed the dogs or cats in a timely manner. The Robot is an IOT Based robot that is capable of taking care you your pets alone at home. The robot is integrated with a camera that allows for live streaming over IOT platform to get on demand footage of home. The robot dispenses appropriate amount of food and water in feeding tray as instructed by user online .This entire system is controlled by a raspberry pi controller that allows for efficient controlling of all robot functionalities .The data collected from each sensor are processed and displayed on a smart phone application .Thus, pet owners through only one single interface can obtain all the information regarding pets' food conception, water conception as well as defecation timing, duration and frequency .Additionally, a controlling function is also enabled in the application for pet owners to dispense food at any time and anywhere .The robot is also integrated with a speaker that speaks out to your dog’s/cats allowing you to warn them for any wrongdoings or call them when it is feeding time
