Abstract
The report highlights the potential for mechanical pets as a comforting solution for pet owners who have lost their beloved pets. The market for these products may be small, but there is significant willingness among pet owners to invest in them. The development of these pets requires a combination of engineering and artistic skills, and with careful consideration of ethical and emotional factors, the industry can create products that provide solace to pet owners. Through partnerships with pet communities and funeral services, the industry can reach a wider audience and offer a valuable service.

Introduction
Losing a pet can be a devastating experience for pet owners. Pets are not just animals, they are an integral part of our lives, and losing them can leave a void that is hard to fill. While pet owners may adopt new pets to help fill the void, there is no substitute for the original pet. This is where the concept of mechanical pets comes in. Mechanical pets are designed to replicate the appearance and some habits of a pet that has passed away. The idea is to provide pet owners with a sense of comfort and companionship that they may have lost with the death of their pet. In this report, we will discuss the concept of mechanical pets made for owners whose pets have passed away.

Product Description
The mechanical pet is designed to replicate the appearance and some habits of a pet that has passed away. The mechanical skeleton is used as the skeleton, while silicone is filled as the main body to ensure softness and elasticity. The pet owner provides the hair and teeth of the deceased pet for the shape assembly, and we strive to replicate the appearance of the pet in 1:1. At the same time, there is a microcomputer in the body of the mechanical pet, and the owner can provide the pet’s recording and some videos. We will extract the pet’s audio and habitual actions from it, and input the information into the microcomputer so that the mechanical pet can imitate the sound and some actions of the original pet.

The owner can also set up some interactive actions, such as calling the pet’s name, and the mechanical pet will use a voice and action to reply. If not set, the voice and action will occur randomly. The mechanical pets can go in the water but cannot eat. The mechanical skeleton and microcomputers need to be inspected or replaced every two to three years.

Market Analysis
The market for mechanical pets made for owners whose pets have passed away is relatively small but has potential. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), 67% of U.S. households own a pet. The emotional attachment that pet owners have with their pets is evident from the fact that Americans spent over $99 billion on their pets in 2020 alone. This includes spending on food, veterinary care, grooming, and other pet-related products and services. The emotional attachment that pet owners have with their pets is strong, and it is not surprising that many pet owners struggle to cope with the loss of their pets.

The market for mechanical pets made for owners whose pets have passed away is relatively small, but there is a potential for growth. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), 58% of pet owners consider their pets to be family members. Pet owners are willing to spend a significant amount of money on their pets, and it is reasonable to expect that some pet owners would be willing to spend money on a mechanical pet that provides them with a sense of comfort and companionship.

Product Development
The development of a mechanical pet requires a combination of mechanical and electronic engineering, along with some artistic skills. The mechanical skeleton is designed to provide the necessary support and movement for the pet. The silicone body is designed to mimic the softness and elasticity of real skin. The extraction of hair and teeth from the deceased pet requires a delicate touch and some artistic skill to replicate the pet’s appearance in 1:1.

The microcomputer is designed to capture and reproduce the pet’s sounds and actions. The pet owner provides the recording of the pet’s sounds and actions, which are then extracted and input into the microcomputer. The microcomputer is then programmed to reproduce the sounds and actions based on the owner’s preferences.

Manufacturing and Distribution Plan
Additionally, the mechanical pet can be programmed to perform certain actions, such as wagging its tail or barking, based on voice commands from the owner. This level of customization and personalization allows the owner to feel as though they are still interacting with their beloved pet, even after it has passed away.

One potential concern with the production and sale of these mechanical pets is the ethical considerations surrounding taxidermy and the use of deceased pets’ hair and teeth. Some individuals may find it insensitive or disrespectful to use a deceased animal in such a manner, and it is important for the protduct to acknowledge and address these concerns in a respectful and compassionate manner. Additionally, it may be necessary for the company to obtain consent from the deceased pet’s owner before using its remains for the creation of a mechanical pet.

Despite these ethical concerns, there is undoubtedly a market for these types of products. According to a survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association, approximately 67% of U.S. households own a pet, with dogs and cats being the most common types of pets. For many individuals, pets are considered members of the family, and the loss of a beloved pet can be a traumatic and emotional experience. The availability of a mechanical pet that closely resembles the original pet can provide a significant source of comfort and solace during the grieving process.

Marketing and sales strategy
Given the sensitive and emotional nature of this product, it is important for the product to approach its marketing and sales strategy with compassion and empathy. One potential approach could be to partner with pet cremation or funeral services, offering the mechanical pet as an optional addition to their services. This could provide an additional source of revenue for these businesses while also providing a valuable service to grieving pet owners.

Another potential marketing strategy could be to target online pet communities and forums, as these individuals may be more likely to be interested in a product that provides comfort during the grieving process. Additionally, social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram can be effective tools for reaching a large audience of pet owners.

In terms of pricing, our team should aim to strike a balance between affordability and profitability. It is important to keep in mind that many individuals who are interested in this product may already be facing financial strain due to the costs associated with pet care and end-of-life services. Therefore, it may be necessary to offer flexible payment plans or financing options to make the product more accessible to a wider audience.

Conclusion
The development and sale of mechanical pets for owners whose pets have passed away is a unique and potentially profitable product that provides a valuable source of comfort during the grieving process. By using a combination of silicone, a mechanical skeleton, and pet hair and teeth, these mechanical pets closely resemble the original pet in both appearance and behavior. With a compassionate and empathetic approach to marketing and sales, the company can effectively reach a large audience. We hope that through this product, more pet owners can be comforted and continue their lives better.
