Inspiration
Last Morning, I got an email regarding a petition about how some animals die in the aircraft's cargo hold. To fix that, we developed PetPal!
What it does
It is a device that allows the passengers to interact with their pets in the airliner's cargo hold and also provides them with the ability to feed them remotely!
How we built it
Using Arduino, Servo, Python, Webcam, OpenCV, Rest API, Flutter
Challenges we ran into
JSON Fetching
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We successfully integrated our Flutter API with a flask API to get real-time updates from our hardware.
What we learned
To start off with devpost submissions right at the start of the event.
What's next for PetPal
The weekend was the beginning of what we hope will be a long and innovative journey. The next immediate steps would be making our API more secure and adding more functionality - specifically to the voice recording and playing. We also want the owners to be able to see a video stream of their pet in real-time and so will setup a Jitsi server to do this. Our electronics can be made better and more compact, something we will be working on as well!
