Hattori Meowzo: Raspberry Pi Cat Toy @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi
Cute project from Grant Desselle up on Hackster.io.
This is a robot cat toy powered by a Raspberry Pi. with a servo, motion detector and a Raspberry Pi camera attached.
Short Description of Project:
A servo connected to rack and pinion gears makes an object extend and retract from an enclosure, emulating the motion of a mouse leaving and retreating from its hole.
When the motion detector senses motion, the camera takes a picture and then the app uses OpenCvSharp to check if it can recognize a cat’s face in the photo.
