1 Gyro Cat Toy Ahmad Danesh Robert Grant Di Xu

2 Overview Introduction The Gyro Cat Toy Test Results and Analysis Marketability Q&A

3 The Team Robert Grant – President & CEO Ahmad Danesh – CFO & CMO Di Xu – CTO & COO

4 The Problem Cat’s require sufficient exercise Decreases risk of diseases People carry out busy lives Existing toys are insufficient Not interactive Not automated Short life span

5 Our Vision Automated Cat Toy No Human Input

6 Possible Solutions Mechanical configuration

7 Possible Solutions Proximity Sensors Magnetism Ultrasonic Infrared RF

8 Possible Solutions Force Sensors Accelerometer Spring jerk sensor

9 Possible Solutions Controller Microcontroller PIC Digital Hardware Logic

10 System Components

11 Sensors RF Transmitter and Receiver Low power Short range transmission Low cost Jerk Sensor Low power Low cost High sensitivity

12 Actuators DC Motor Low power High torque Low cost H-Bridge 3V operation Low power Low cost
