It’s no trick that cats have a weakness for the bit red dot created by a laser pointer. [Rodney] put that trait to work by automating the motion of a red laser pointer. After installing it on a servo motor he got down to work programming an Arduino to step it in a lively manner. however it wouldn’t have been much fun if the this was only capable of preprogrammed patterns, so he likewise included an IR proximity sensor to assist provide the thing interactivity. add to that the treaded robot base as well as you’ve got mobile feline entertainment. The proof is in the video after the break… the feline is definitely having fun chasing the dot. [Rodney] plans to work a bit a lot more on his code to ensure that the motions of the laser dot include a great deal of different patterns to keep things exciting.
