DANIAL HAKIM BIN KHAMIS Universiti Teknologi MARA Cawangan Johor Kampus Pasir Gudang

In today's busy world, people often struggle to adequately feed and care for their pets. This project aims to address this challenge by developing and monitoring an automatic cat feeder using Arduino and IoT technology. The goal is to provide cats with automated and controlled feeding, ensuring they receive proper nutrition and consistent meals. The key objective is to dispense precise portions of food and water at scheduled times. It incorporates a range of inputs and outputs, including user-defined feeding schedules via the IoT application, an ultrasonic sensor to detect food and water levels, a motor-driven mechanism for dispensing, LED indicators for food levels, and a buzzer to signal the start of the feeding process. This project is designed to assist busy individuals in monitoring their pet’s care even when they are away. By integrating an automated cat feeder with IoT capabilities, it addresses the challenges faced by pet owners in managing their pets’ feeding routines.
