She recently got into the habit that when she wants us humans to play the ball with her and we don&#8217;t give her attention, she would roll the ball into places she can&#8217;t reach, usually under a desk or behind the TV set. Then she whines until someone gets it for her, which could be minutes if no one decides to get it.<\/p>\n<p>The process of retrieving the ball involves bending down, looking for the ball under table, get it out with a 6ft long stick or with hands. And sometimes when I have my headphones on, I don&#8217;t hear her whining.<\/p>\n<p>This is frustrating for both my dog, and my family. So I came up with the idea of making a device that could fit under the table. It can detect the dog&#8217;s whining sound, move under the table to find the ball, and push the ball out.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1454 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/48-339\/f2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_4F87FD04500D-1-1024x379.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/48-339\/f2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_4F87FD04500D-1-1024x379.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/48-339\/f2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_4F87FD04500D-1-300x111.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/48-339\/f2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_4F87FD04500D-1-768x284.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/48-339\/f2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_4F87FD04500D-1-1536x569.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/48-339\/f2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_4F87FD04500D-1-1200x444.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/48-339\/f2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_4F87FD04500D-1.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my dog and her favorite toy: a blue and green rubber ball.
