Abstract: This project is a effort to apply Human-Robot Interaction concepts to the field of Agile Software Engineering. The goal of the project is to make a mobile build notification mechanism so developers, project managers and customers can know the state of the project instantly. Also, it keeps the atmosphere in the development environment fun and lighthearted. The Feline Fun Park toy is also remote controllable. While working, a cat owner can get a reading of the cat's activity level, and can manually control the toy.
