Puro

The designer’s objective was to solve problems in dog raising 1-person households. Canine animals’ anxiety disorders and physiological problems are rooted from prolonged period of caretakers' abscense. Due to their small living spaces, caretakers shared living environment with companion animals, causing sanitary problems. Inspired from the pain points, the designer came up with a care robot that 1. plays and interacts with companion animals by tossing treats, 2. cleans up dusts and crumbs after indoor activities, and 3. takes in odors and hair when companion animals take rest.
