Abstract

Whilst the ubicomp community has successfully embraced a number of societal challenges for human benefit, including healthcare and sustainability, the well-being of other animals is hitherto underrepresented. We argue that ubicomp technologies, including sensing and monitoring devices as well as tangible and embodied interfaces, could make a valuable contribution to animal welfare. This paper particularly focuses on dogs in kenneled accommodation, as we investigate the opportunities and challenges for a smart kennel aiming to foster canine welfare. We conducted an in-depth ethnographic study of a dog rehoming center over four months; based on our findings, we propose a welfare-centered framework for designing smart environments, integrating monitoring and interaction with information management. We discuss the methodological issues we encountered during the research and propose a smart ethnographic approach for similar projects.
动物福利UbiComp:为狗窝设计智能环境
虽然ubicomp社区已经成功地接受了一些人类利益的社会挑战,包括医疗保健和可持续性,但其他动物的福祉迄今为止还没有得到充分的代表。我们认为,ubicomp技术,包括传感和监测设备以及有形和具体化的接口,可以为动物福利做出有价值的贡献。本文特别关注犬舍住宿中的狗,因为我们调查了旨在促进犬类福利的智能犬舍的机遇和挑战。我们对一家狗狗收容中心进行了为期四个月的深入人种学研究;基于我们的研究结果,我们提出了一个以福利为中心的框架来设计智能环境,将监测和交互与信息管理相结合。我们讨论了我们在研究中遇到的方法问题,并为类似的项目提出了一种聪明的民族志方法。
