Abstract: A system includes a robotic arm, an imaging device coupled to the robotic arm, a board coupled to the robotic arm, and a processor. The imaging device captures imaging data of a rearview of a dairy livestock through a field of view of the imaging device. The board is able to pivot from a down position to an up position and has an aperture through which the imaging device can pass through when the board lowers from the up position to the down position. The processor is coupled to both the imaging device and the board and is configured to identify a tail of the dairy livestock within the imaging data captured by the imaging device and send one or more instructions to raise the board from the down position to the up position, thereby moving the tail out of the field of view of the imaging device.

Abstract: Milking box or boxes for cows, each milking box having two entrance fences for entry and two exit fences, wherein one first entrance fence and one first exit fence form a first pair of fences positioned at a first side, and one second entrance fence and one second exit fence form a second pair of fences at a second side which is opposite the first side. This type of milking box used in a cow stable further comprises resting boxes, at least one feeder trough, a separation zone or zones, and walking paths, wherein at least the resting boxes are placed at the first side of the milking box or boxes, and that at the second side of the milking box or boxes at least one is placed selected from the group comprising at least one feeder trough, a separation zone or zones, or outdoors.
Abstract translation: 每个挤奶箱具有用于进入的两个入口围栏和两个出口围栏,其中一个第一入口围栏和一个第一出口围栏形成位于第一侧的第一对栅栏和一个第二入口围栏和一个第一入口围栏 第二出口围栏在与第一侧相对的第二侧形成第二对栅栏。 在奶牛稳定器中使用的这种类型的挤奶箱还包括休息箱,至少一个进料槽,分离区或区和步行路径,其中至少将休息盒放置在挤奶箱或盒的第一侧, 并且在挤奶箱或盒子的第二侧,至少一个放置在从包括至少一个给料槽,分隔区或区域或室外的组中选择。

Abstract: A method comprises receiving a flow of milk at an inlet of a manifold. The inlet comprises a first end coupled to a hose that receives a flow of milk from a teat cup and a second end terminating in a chamber of the manifold. The manifold comprises one or more other inlets and a plurality of outlets. The plurality of outlets includes one or more milk collector outlets and one or more drain outlets. The method proceeds by causing the flow of milk to be directed to a corresponding milk collector outlet by causing a shut-off valve corresponding to the inlet to open, and by causing a drain valve corresponding to the inlet to close. The method concludes by causing the flow of milk to be directed to a corresponding drain outlet by causing the drain valve corresponding to the inlet to open.
Abstract translation: 一种方法包括在歧管的入口处接收牛奶流。 入口包括联接到软管的第一端,其接收来自奶杯的牛奶流,以及终止于歧管的腔室中的第二端。 歧管包括一个或多个其它入口和多个出口。 多个出口包括一个或多个集奶器出口和一个或多个排水出口。 通过使对应于入口的截止阀打开,并且通过使与入口对应的排水阀关闭,导致牛奶的流动被引导到相应的收集器出口。 该方法的结论是通过使对应于入口的排放阀打开来使牛奶的流动被引导到相应的排出口。

Abstract: A milking robot comprising a movable arm and a plurality of grippers. The movable arm has a length in a longitudinal direction. The plurality of grippers are swivably mounted to the movable arm such that each gripper moves between a first position parallel to the movable arm's longitudinal direction and a second position at which the gripper extends sideways in a horizontal plane away from the movable arm's longitudinal direction.
