A system used in dairy farming where dairy cows are milked automatically by a robotic unit without requiring direct human intervention for the attachment of milking equipment. The system typically identifies individual cows, prepares the udder, attaches milking cups, records milk yield, and often provides data on cow health, allowing for more frequent and voluntary milking sessions by the cows. It is primarily employed to enhance labor efficiency, improve farm management, and potentially increase animal comfort and milk production.
