Smart Food Dispenser
Sensor-triggered feeding that keeps animals moving and foraging.
O desafio
Food that arrives at the same place and time every day leaves animals with little to do.
Smart Food Dispenser
Natural foraging means searching, moving and working for food. The Smart Food Dispenser detects a nearby animal and releases a small portion, and several units can work together at different times and places to encourage animals to explore and stay active.
