Instrumented Dog Toys for Quantifying Behaviour

Info about the Project

Our project aims to utilize instrumented dog toys to collect data on dog play behaviors. The current project implementation is a food-safe silicone over-molded tennis ball with an embedded sensor package at its center. The sensors collect motion data (via an inertial measurement unit) and pressure data (via a barometer) as dogs play with the ball.
