Abstract

In recent years, there has been a growing prevalence of single-person households, leading to an increased demand for pets as a source of emotional stability and stress relief. However, the social culture characterized by long working hours has resulted in a significant rise in the number of pets being left unattended at home. To address this issue, pet technology devices have emerged, however, research on more effective methods for pet management remains limited. In this paper, we propose an AI-based pet care robot system that leverages voice recognition technology for real-time pet management. The proposed pet care robot system incorporates natural language processing (NLP) through speech recognition to efficiently perform its functions. By integrating existing embedded-based systems such as pet tech devices into an AI robot environment and evaluating their performance, we demonstrate a mitigation of the pet management problem associated with neglected pets.
