Project risks
The following risks were identified, which may affect the completion of the project:
1. Low quality of details
2. Unattainability of the product's functional characteristics
3. Lack of knowledges
4. Low activity of team members
5. Use of funds beyond the budget
6. Lack of time
7. Extreme value fluctuations of currencies exchange rate
8. Lack of necessary details in the shop
9. Lack of cat
After that arrange it in the matrix of risks considering probability of their occurrence and influence on our project (table 4).

We decided to manage only those risks that could seriously impact on the project implementation (high and extreme level). The result you can see in the table 5.

Project perspectives
The realized principle of the device operation may be needed in other technological systems. For example:
● This device can be adapted to move animals (for example, tigers, lions and other dangerous cats) into the cage, it will reduce the risk of injury and protect working conditions of farm staff (zoos, circuses);
● Search for different stuff in the house (example: TV remote control, socks);
● Level correction (for example: when you determine the position of objects and correct their position in the construction using a laser level);
● Use as a simulator (example: training techniques of kicking in martial arts or instruction system of driving);
● Automate the lighting system (example: correction of the direction of the light ray during the performance of the actor in the theater) and so on...
In addition, you can use arduino Nano to reduce the size of the device on the cat or (and) change the principle of data transfer, in order to the system becomes more like a real-time system.
