This Little Robot Feeds Pets Treats and Sends Selfies to Owners' Smartphones
Charlotte Joyce Kidd — September 7, 2015 — Tech
The PetBot is a little robot that will take a dog selfie of your furry friend and reward them with a treat.
The hybrid dog selfie camera and treat dispenser is a way for owners to stay in touch with their pets all day long. When a dog or cat wanders into the field of vision of the PetBot, it will get their attention with a sound or a recording of the owner's voice. When the pet approaches the PetBot, the camera will take a cat or dog selfie and send it to the owner, then reward the pet with a treat. Owners get little updates on their pets all day, and pets get treats and hear the comforting sound of their human's voice throughout their time apart.
