由於世界人口的家庭結構改變，人類對寵物的需求逐年增加，寵物機器人兼具寵物與智慧型機器人的優點，將具市場潛力與發展空間。現今的寵物機器人多為陸上型，較少為水下類型，本研究擬以寵物魚缸的概念，發展仿生的烏賊寵物機器人。
本研究模仿烏賊的游泳模式去製作機器人，並設計兩種水下推進器，分別為無閥式微幫浦推進器與水離心式幫浦推進器，經過個別測試性能後，結果顯示以水離心式幫浦推進器較佳，並以脈衝式的推進方式達到模仿烏賊行進的方法。機器人以語音互動為主要方式，置於魚缸外部的語音辨識系統，可判讀人類所說話語中的關鍵字，將轉換後的電子訊號透過天線傳給機器人，讓寵物機器人做出情感的表現，如開心、傷心動作，使得主人有如與寵物互動。
機器人利用3D CAD以及CAM軟體來繪製及處理零件，再搭配積層製造技術製作零件並組裝出機器人原型。機器人組裝完成後尺寸為288mm * 118.5mm * 200mm、重量850克。經過水下測試，其結果顯示機器人能依設定之辨識語句做出反應動作。

Due to the change of family structure, people’s needs of keeping pets are increased year by year. Robotic pets can have both advantages of real pets and intelligent robots, and have great potentials in the market. Nowadays, the developments of robotic pets are seldom for the underwater environment. In this research, an interactive squid robot pet was developed for placing in a fish tank as one of the pets.
This research imitated moving and turning modes of squid to develop the squid robot. Two types of propulsion systems were designed and tested—one is valveless micropump and the other is water centrifugal type pump. As a result, the centrifugal type pump was more powerful to move the squid robot, and could be driven in pulse to imitate squid’s swimming mode. The interactive function of the system was planned to be able to identify owner’s emotion statements and the robot would react accordingly. A language identifying module was set up outside the fish tank and processed the identification jobs. When the keywords were caught, a signal would send to the squid robot through antenna to trigger the robot to perform pre-set reactions, showing empathy to owner’s
emotions, such as happy and sad.
The components of squid robot prototype were designed in 3D CAD software and manufactured by additive manufacturing techniques. After assembly, the overall size of the robot was 288mm x 118.5 mm x 200mm with the weight of 850 grams. The underwater test results showed that the squid robot pet could successfully identify the keywords and react to
owner’s emotion statement.
