自動餵食器

Abstract

隨著台灣的經濟發展與都市化，有一大群人是生活在都市叢林之中，無止盡的工作壓力使他們生活忙碌，人與人的關係逐漸疏離，親密度開始下降，心靈的慰藉十分缺乏，時常感到寂寞，而寵物成為他們的最佳良伴。放眼現今人類的社會，許多現代人正沉浸於豢養寵物的氛圍之中，說「寵物是人類的玩伴」似乎已經不太恰當，應該說「牠們離人類家人的地位不遠了」反而比較符合。 然而，現代人工作繁忙，無法時時刻刻陪伴在寵物身邊，沒辦法親自給予他們基本的生理需求，自動餵食器便成為主人出門在外時，照顧餵食寵物的好幫手。有了它，即使主人上班甚至是出差，只要記得設定餵食，寵物便不會因此挨餓。本專題主要利用微控制器與其相關周邊元件設計與製作一個簡單寵物自動餵食器。實驗結果證明其具真實性與可行性。

With the economic development and rapid urbanization in Taiwan, more and more people seem living in an atmosphere of concrete jungle. The hustle and bustle lifestyle leads to the enormous stress and the indifference between people. Lacking of the interpersonal relationship, the loneliness makes people seek for alternative, such as raising and owning a pet. It's not hard to find that people enjoy in owning pet. And most of people not only see it as interest but also treat the pet as part of family members. However, people are too busy to take care of their pets 24 Horus. Automatic pet feeder can solve this situation. As long as the owner of pets remembers to activate the feeder, the pets will no longer starve while their owners are outside the house. Finally, an automatic pet feeder that is based on a microcontroller and other peripheral devices, is designed and implemented in this project. The experimental results demonstrate the integrity and feasibility.
