 ABSTRACT
At present Remote Control technology is a trend and is
easy to access, user friendly and easy to monitor. Having
pet can be an enjoyment in our life. In this paper a
prototype has been proposed to solve the problem of
providing food and water for all types of pet when owner
is residing away from home such as lockdown situation.
By the application of this prototype, the owner can
supply food and water to the pet at their preferred
scheduled time. The system proposed is controlled
through an Arduino UNO. A conical structure created
using ply board (collected from waste material) for
reserving the pet’s food. A servomotor has been
interfaced to control the outflow of the food through a
PVC pipe connected to the bowl. The bowl is placed on a
load cell to inspect the weight of food. The owner can
assign the timing and quantity of food through a
keyboard to supply food depending on the instantaneous
weight of the food in the bowl. By using float sensor
water level in the container has been monitored and
refilled.
 INTRODUCTION

In the present generation, almost all people want to

keep a pet in their home as they believe that a pet in
house can decrease daily stress, boredom and
loneliness from daily life. But in a developing nation
citizen has a very high-level activity that causes
negligence to take care of pet regarding food and
water supply in equal interval of time. They are
engaged to various activities and get little time to
monitor pet at house. To supply food to pet with
adjustable quantity at predefined time has been an
essential task in present scenario. Remote Control
pet feeder can replace manual pet feeding method
into a modern one. There are some pet feeders
proposed with connectivity to the internet and hence
monitoring is possible from remote location. The
author proposed some additional features that can
be added to convert the pet feeder into Smart Pet
Feeder keeping the cost of realization within
acceptable range for the consumer so that the
demand of automated pet feeding systems may be
made high. Smart Pet Care System and
Programmable Pet Feeder are two of those research
that have been found about automatic pet feeder.
From a survey by veterinary doctor, it is revealed that
56% of dogs and 60% of cats are suffering from
obesity. Lack of exercise and overeating are the main
reasons for the pet obesity. Sometimes pet owner
pours excessive amount of food to the bowl in
frequent interval of time may affix pet’s health.
Hence controlled amount of food supply is essential
for pet health. Attention paid to our proposed
prototype to maintain some unique features such as
the budget for realization, efficiency, compactness,
assigning time and quantity of food release. To
prevent the feeding problem, we introduce the
Smart Pet Feeder a prototype that has been
proposed for the same shall have high demand in the
market for taking care of pet in the house. The
proposed prototype has been designed to supply
food to pet through preprogramed instruction
assigned by the owner.
 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Components:
Arduino UNO
SG90 micro servo motor
IR Receiver
Just Boom IR Remote
Breadboard(generic)
Jumper wires.

1. Arduino UNO
Arduino UNO is a low-cost, flexible, and easy-to-use programmable
open-source microcontroller board that can be integrated into a
variety of electronic projects. This board can be interfaced with other
Arduino boards, Arduino shields, Raspberry Pi boards and can control
relays, LEDs, servos, and motors as an output.
2. SG90 micro servo motor
A Servo Motor is a small device that has an output shaft. This shaft
can be positioned to specific angular positions by sending the servo
a coded signal. As long as the coded signal exists on the input line,
the servo will maintain the angular position of the shaft.

3. IR Receiver
The IR transmitter continuously emits the IR light and the IR receiver
keeps on checking for the reflected light. If the light gets reflected back
by hitting any object in front it, the IR receiver receives this light.
Decoding IR Signals:

First you need to connect the parts as per the

given circuit diagram:
You can checkout Pin out of TSOP1738 below:

The Final Circuit!

 RESULT
Automatic Pet Feeder works efficiently and fulfils the
objective of feeding pet in absence of its master. It works
for on house hold 230V AC supply. The servomotor
rotates the Auger and food gets delivered into plate as
programmed in the Arduino. The design can be made
more factory feasible and aesthetic. The auger can be
made by 3D printing which can be created as the auger is
the moving part. Different materials can be used unlike
acrylic sheet which was used in it. The APF could be made
more advanced by installing cameras and audio box as it
would make possible to interact with pet through smart
phones as well as keep observation on it. APF is indeed a
helper to the owner for proper care taking of pet and
more advancements can be expected in future
 APPLICATION OF PROJECT
A remote control pet feeder using Arduino UNO can be a
very useful and convenient way to feed your pets,
especially when you’re not at home. Here are some
possible applications of such a project:

1. Scheduled feeding: With a remote control pet feeder,

you can program the Arduino UNO to feed your pet
at specific times of the day, ensuring that your pet is
fed regularly an don time.

2. Portion control: By controlling the amount of food

dispensed, you can make sure that your pet is getting
the right amount of food each time. This can be
especially important for pets with specific dietary
requirements or weight management issues.

3. Monitoring: By using sensors and other input devices,

you can monitor the amount of food left in the feeder
and the feeding patterns of your pet. This can help you
 keep track of your pet’s eating habits and detect any
changes that may require attention.

4. Remote control: With a remote control, you can feed

your pet from anywhere, as long as you have an
internet connection. This can be especially useful if
you’re frequent feeding.

5. Multi-pet feeding: A remote control pet feeder can be

configured to feed multiple pets at different times or
in different can be configured to feed option for pet
owners with multiple pets.

Overall, A remote control pet feeder using Arduino

UNO can be a very practical and useful project for pet
owners who want to ensure that their pets are fed
properly, even when they’re not at home.
CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE

The interaction between humans and physical devices

and objects is attracting increasing attention. Many
studies have attempted to provide a natural and intuitive
approach to request services. The current trend of
combining pet control and IoT technology offers
exciting future developments. The proposed system is
also referred on smart-home technology, including the
smart pet door and pet feeder. The results not only
present the key improvement of the pet monitor system
involved in the IoT technology, but also meet the
demand of pet owners.
The basic vision behind the IoT, it may have a new way
of operational method, it may have a new method of
connecting devices, and there might be the even
complete clean-slate approach. As the full operational
definition is not yet finalized, there are numerous
research issues that can be worked on. As a next step, we
will fully integrate the other pet care devices into our
system, including litter boxes, pet cam, etc. With that,
the diverse needs of the owners can be met, and the
health, monitor, and entertainment topics for pets are all
covered. Besides, standing as the cloud term, how to
connect the numerous networking devices around the
globe is the next issue. In the future, we will centralize
on the study of the IoT gateway and long distance
detection of the pets.
