Pet Care Robot

Friday, 9 October 2026

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.

Pet Outing Bag

Fenced Traveler

Fenced Traveler is a pet outing bag designed for small pets such as rodents. The bag carries a small pet outdoors and then opens into an enclosed play area. After the bag is placed on the ground, a built-in structure forms a closed outdoor space, and the pet can be released inside it. The design reduces the need for a traction rope, which can injure small pets and limit their movement. Fenced Traveler is made of plastic and cloth, shaped with a knapsack cloth forming technique. The aim is to protect small pets outdoors and to give owners more freedom during shared outdoor activities.

A fabric cushion fits inside the collapsed house for convenient transport.

Yep

Many cat owners have the problems of slow-sifting speed and uncomfortable grip or unstable-feeling grip when scooping the waste from the litter box. The litter scoop features the continuous arrangement of ridgeline holes; this provides cat owners with such a quick, clean, and easy way to scoop the waste that they don’t even need to shake the litter scoop at all! The structural design of the U-shaped scoop allows the shovel to be easily used at various angles, and strengthens the structural integrity of the plastic.

The Natural Fountain

The Natural Fountain is a drinking water dispenser for pets. The design language is simple and calm, and it reflects a wish for a cozy and relaxed lifestyle.

The geometric body is made of ABS by injection molding and holds a UV sterilization unit and a water circulation filter system, which support drinking health. The white device measures 200 by 200 by 180 millimeters. A single button turns the fountain on, and a press of three seconds turns it off.
