Crow Digital Display and Feeder

Andrea Townsend, Associate Professor of Biology, and members of Digital Initiatives, Scholarship, and Collaboration (DISC) created an interactive display and feeder to support Townsend's research on wild birds. 

The interactive display and feeder consist of an infrared frame linked to a display, which is connected to a Raspberry Pi that, in turn, connects to a motor and light. The motor operates a 3D-printed feeder structure, dispensing individual food items when the correct option is selected on the screen.
