    Abstract: A system includes a carriage track positioned adjacent to a rotary milking platform, a robot carriage positioned on the carriage track such that the robot carriage may move along the carriage track, and a controller. The controller determines a movement of a milking stall of the rotary milking platform from a first rotational position to a second rotational position. The controller further determines a position of the robot carriage on the carriage track corresponding to the movement of the milking stall of the rotary milking platform. The controller also communicates a position signal to a carriage actuator coupled to the robot carriage and the carriage track. The position signal causes the carriage actuator to move the robot carriage along the carriage track to the determined position in conjunction with the movement of the rotary milking platform.

    Abstract translation: 系统包括邻近旋转挤奶平台定位的托架轨道,位于托架轨道上的机器人托架,使得机器人托架可沿托架轨道移动,以及控制器。 控制器确定旋转挤奶平台的挤奶失速从第一旋转位置移动到第二旋转位置。 控制器进一步确定机器人滑架在滑架轨道上对应于旋转挤奶平台的挤奶档的移动的位置。 控制器还将位置信号传递给耦合到机器人托架和托架轨道的托架致动器。 位置信号使得滑架致动器将机器人滑架沿滑架轨道移动到与旋转挤奶平台的移动相结合的确定位置。

    Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment, a system includes a milking cup, a pulsating device coupled to the milking cup, a robotic arm comprising a gripper, and a controller communicatively coupled to the robotic arm and the pulsating device. The controller is operable to instruct the gripper of the robotic arm to grip the milking cup, instruct the robotic arm to move the milking cup proximate to a teat of a dairy livestock, and instruct the robotic arm to move the milking cup towards the teat. The controller is further operable to instruct the pulsating device to apply pressure to the milking cup before attaching the milking cup to the teat and instruct the gripper of the robotic arm to release the milking cup.
