猴硐共餵系統

本設計以猴硐貓村公共餵養情境為背景，探討觀光行為與動物照護之間的平衡問題。現場多仰賴遊客自由餵食，雖能促進人與動物互動，卻也導致過量投餵、營養失衡與管理困難等情況，進一步影響貓咪健康與環境品質。

本提案提出一套結合智慧餵食裝置與數位介面的整合系統，透過晶片辨識機制，建立以個體為單位的餵食管理方式，有效限制單一貓咪攝取量，並減少搶食行為。同時，系統提供定量投餵功能，搭配現場投幣與實體按鈕操作，降低使用門檻，使不同使用者皆能參與餵食行為。

在能源設計上，裝置結合太陽能供電與電池儲能系統，並整合散熱結構，以因應戶外長時間運作的穩定性需求。此外，透過攝影機進行進食狀態紀錄，建立基礎行為數據，有助於後續管理與觀察。

本設計嘗試從單一餵食行為出發，轉化為具管理性與參與性的公共照護系統，提升動物福祉，同時維持人與動物之間的正向互動關係。

This project is based on the public feeding context of Houtong Cat Village, Taiwan, addressing the imbalance between tourism interaction and animal care. While feeding enhances human-animal connection, the lack of control often leads to overfeeding and uneven distribution, affecting animal health.
The design integrates a smart feeding device with based identification, enabling individual feeding control to reduce excessive intake and competition. It supports both remote and on-site interaction, allowing users to participate through a mobile interface or physical input.

A solar-powered system combined with battery storage ensures stable outdoor operation, while a built-in camera records feeding conditions for basic monitoring.

By transforming feeding into a controlled and participatory system, this design aims to improve animal welfare while maintaining meaningful interaction between humans and animals.
