Abstract: A device and method for detecting lameness in a standing animal uses at least one optical imaging device coupled to processing arrangement. The optical imaging device is arranged in a position to capture at least one image showing the lower portions of at least one leg of an animal and to forward the image to the processing arrangement, which, in turn, analyses the image to determine a condition of lameness when said at least one leg is held in a raised position on or above ground level. The system is particularly suited to detecting lameness in dairy animals and can be integrated in a milking or feeding stall or with an automatic or semi-automatic milking system.

Abstract: An arrangement for cleaning an end effector (21) carried by a robotic manipulation device (9a, 9b, 9c) includes an end effector cleaning station (18) mounted within a working area of the robotic manipulation device (9a, 9b, 9c), with a spray device (26) configured to provide at least one liquid jet. A control unit (11) is, when it is time to clean the end effector (21), configured to activate the robotic manipulation device (9a, 9b, 9c) such that it moves the end effector (21) downwards from a position above the end effector cleaning station (18) to a position where it is hit by the liquid jet, wherein during this movement the end effector (21) is substantially vertical.

Abstract: A time-of-flight (TOF) camera system for a robot milking system includes a housing accommodating a light source, imaging optics, an image sensor, and electronics; a front part including a light transparent window disposed in front of the light source and the imaging optics; and fasteners. The housing has a front side and a back side, and the front part has a front side and a backside, the surface of the front side being flat and including a front surface of the light transparent window. The fasteners releasably mechanically fasten the front part to the housing with the back side of the front part and the front side of the housing facing each other. The fasteners are maneuverable from the back side of the housing to fasten the front part to, and release the front part from, the housing, thereby enabling the front part to be replaceable.

Abstract: An encoder arrangement (2) adapted to be used with a rotary milking platform includes an encoder axle rotatable about an encoder axis (12), an encoder wheel (6) connected to the encoder axle, and a suspension arrangement (8) supporting the encoder and the encoder wheel (6). The encoder and the encoder wheel (6) are arranged on a movable portion (14) of the suspension arrangement (8). The movable portion (14) is biased towards the rotary milking platform. The movable portion (14) is pivotable about a pivot axis (16), and the pivot axis (16) extends perpendicularly to the encoder axis (12).
