Platypus Surfing: In Search of the Perfect Wave

International Conference on Animal-Computer Interaction, 2020
For this project, we design a self-activated wave enrichment system for a solo male platypus, 'Sam', at Melbourne Zoo. We develop a sensor system that Sam can learn to activate by swimming near the device to trigger a wave sequence, providing both choice
