Revolutionizing the Milk Industry: Robotic Laser Scanning System for Cows

The video discusses a laser scanning system for milking cows, installed at the University of Nottingham's agricultural center. This system allows cows to be milked autonomously, reducing stress and disease while improving milk quality. Unlike conventional dairies, where cows are milked twice daily, this system lets cows choose their milking times. Automation and robotics are used for feeding and waste management, aligning with the university's focus on future solutions. This technology frees dairy workers to focus on herd health and productivity improvements.
