Pet Camera Robot

Overview

Description

As more households adopt pets, owners seek reliable ways to ensure their companions' safety, behavior, and well-being while they're away. Stationary cameras provide coverage but are limited by blind spots as pets move throughout the home. A mobile pet camera robot addresses this issue by allowing users to control its movement and follow pets around, reducing blind spots and creating opportunities for interaction while away.

This pet camera robot system is a mobile device that provides video footage and two-way audio interaction. It can move around the house, enabling owners to dynamically interact with their pets. Controlled via a phone app over Wi-Fi, users can view the video feed, speak through the robot, and direct its movement to follow their pets.

System Benefits:

  • Dual-core Arm® Cortex®-M85 enables real-time camera and sensor signal processing for video, while simultaneously handling tasks such as motor control and communication. This reduces jitter and latency, allowing owners to interact with their pets without lag.
  • Advanced security MCU with immutable storage, Renesas Secure IP (RSIP) cryptographic engine, TrustZone®, and tamper protection provides robust protection for video and communication, safeguarding against hacking and tampering.
  • Easily charged via USB-C, compliant with USB PD Specification 3.1 and USB Type-C Cable and Connector Specification Revision 2.1.
  • Energy-efficient design supports all-day operation and reliable monitoring without frequent recharging, ensuring consistent pet interaction and surveillance.
  • On-device machine learning (ML) enables real-time pet recognition and intelligent features such as tracking specific pets, detecting unusual behavior, and enabling smarter play interactions.
