Helping animals through enrichment. We design, build, and deliver enrichment devices to zoos and aquariums that have animals in human care, utilizing technology and advanced engineering. Animal Enrichment Systems (AES) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit . We are 100% volunteer-operated, so all donations go directly to providing enrichment to the animals that need it.
Update: Upon completion of the dual feeder the cart was ready for testing. When the pump for the shower was activated, it caused the feeder to dispense. The root cause of this issue was electromagnetic magnetic interference from the brushes in the pump. In order to correct this issue, the power system was split into two systems one for the controller electronics and the other for the enrichment devices. After splitting the power system, the erroneous triggering was much improved, however, every once in a while, the feeder would trigger (about once every ten minutes). Capacitive noise suppression was added to the pump circuit and that fixed the issue. The cart is now ready to be brought outside for testing (4-20-23)
We tested the ZooTampa Critter Cart today. This has four features: fan, music/bird sounds, food/seed dispenser and water shower/spray
Here are two pictures of the test chassis for the primate EED. This unit will be used to fit-check the attachment system to the enclosure. Once the fit is verified the remaining components will be added to the chassis. This will give us a chance to maximize the layout and allow for reducing the size of the chassis.
We are meeting with FIT Professor at Brevard Zoo this Friday at the cognitive research center.
