AUTOMATIC CAT LITTER BOX (ACLB)

Abstract

The idea to construct this project is by doing an observation towards products that was use in daily life. One of the products that catch our attention is cat litter box, the product has produced many types of cat litter box with different feature. However, we acknowledge that there is a slight problem with cat litter box that is used manually, which is cat owner did not have enough time to clean and dispose the faces because of their daily works, the faeces disposing work is inefficient, and also the safety of cats during cleaning operation for other automatic cat litter box is quite hazardous. The fabrication process was one by evaluating cat owners problems and needs in handling this product. The users problems and needs was taken into account during the fabrication of this project by designing the product, create a system that can operate automatically, selecting the material of the product, testing and analysing. Several test will be construct to test the product, such as the effectiveness of the scoop to drag the faeces along the way to waste compartment, the time taken for the operation, durability and safety of cats during operation. Conclusively, purpose for this project is to save cat owner’s time by designing cat litter box that can operate automatically and also to increase safety for cats during cleaning operation. One of the recommendation to improve this project is by using renewable energy such as solar as the main power for the product.
