Abstract:
The paper proposes a novel, fully integrated intelligent system that incorporates the Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems technologies to streamline the routine of monitoring household pets' day-to-day life and well-being. By leveraging this system, users become keenly aware of the overall disposition of their pets, allowing for a multimodal data-driven approach to responsible care. Several data collection devices are leveraged to collect information about the current circumstances of a pet, resulting in derivable, up-to-date insights available to the user on the web. Several use cases were used to validate this approach, exemplifying the usefulness of a modular pet-care system that is customisable to varying needs and can be seamlessly deployed locally or to the cloud, ensuring well-being at all times. By leveraging current animal monitoring efforts with new-age data collection technologies, Fursight represents a robust solution to unobtrusive pet care, combining the Internet of Things and human-centred design, to reach optimal care even in the prevailing fast-paced mode of life.
