Is it profitable and especially possible to create a somewhat intelligent cat food dispenser?
morning everyone, I have a question for a project. 🤔🤔 🤔 In your opinion, is it profitable and especially feasible to create a somewhat intelligent cat food dispenser? Let me explain. I would like the dispenser to distribute a certain quantity at certain times (using a scale, for example), but with a kind of flap that closes the bowl if the cat doesn't finish (since I have multiple cats and I want to prevent them from stealing from each other), and that the flap only opens if it's the authorized cat (via their electronic identification chip, for example). Do you think this is possible????
Thanks in advance.

It is possible but I will suggest you take up a survey for this to get a reasonable amount of data, so you can make decisions based on the product

Yes!
Actually I have 5 cats, including two kittens aged 3 months, which I feed three times a day. I also have three adult cats that I feed twice a day.
Their feeding times are different. ðŸ«
Scale, 3 time kittens, 2 cats cats!

-Electronic identification chip cat, chip bowl!
Display and SD!
the profitability depends on a lot of things, but I remember seeing lot of products around cats on kickstarter, I think there is defiantly a market for this type of products.
@Camila_99$$ Each project makes sense. If you want to make some profit from manufacturing it in the future, I would start with some research on alibaba.com, 1688.com, taobao.com or similar servers. They probably sell much better devices that you can even design.
