    摘要： An arrangement is provided for attaching teat cups to teats of a milking animal in a rotary milking system having a milking stall for housing the milking animal during milking. The arrangement comprises a three-dimensional camera configured to be directed towards the udder of the milking animal in the milking stall and to repeatedly record three-dimensional images of the udder of the milking animal in real time. The three-dimensional camera is further configured to be directed towards the teat cups located in a magazine and to repeatedly record three-dimensional images of the teat cups in real time. The arrangement also includes an image processing device configured to repeatedly detect the teats of the milking animal and determine the positions of the teats in three spatial dimensions based on said repeatedly recorded three-dimensional images of the teats. The image processing device is also configured to repeatedly detect the plurality of teat cups and determine the positions of the teat cups in three spatial dimensions based on said repeatedly recorded three-dimensional images of the teat cups located in the magazine. The arrangement also includes a control device configured to control a robot arm, based on the determined positions of the teats of the milking animal and the determined positions of the teat cups, to automatically attach at least one teat cup to at least one teat of the milking animal in the milking stall.

    摘要： A method and arrangement for determining a gut fill level of the rumen of an animal uses a three-dimensional camera and an image processing system. The three-dimensional camera is located in a station, wherein the animal is forced to stand essentially still during recording of the three-dimensional image. The three-dimensional camera is located on the left side of the animal at a height above the rumen triangle of the animal, longitudinally in essence in level with the rumen triangle, and is directed downwards towards the rumen triangle during the image recording. The image processing system automatically determines a depth and/or volume of a convexity or concavity of the rumen triangle, and determines the gut fill level of the rumen of the animal based on the determined depth and/or volume.

    摘要： A method and device (1) for controlling the movement of a movable part such as a robot arm (3) in a milking robot (1). A control (7) controls the movement of the arm (3) from an actual position (Pxa, Pya, Pza) to a desired position (Pxd, Pyd, Pzd) A detector (45, 47, 49) detects the actual position of the robot arm (3) and transmits signals corresponding to the actual position to the control (7). The predicted position (Pxp, Pyp, PyP), that the robot arm (3) will pass through as it moves from the actual position to the desired position our model (S). The control (7) makes a comparison (S) of the actual positions of the arm (3) against to the predicted positions, and the movement of the robot arm (3) is modified if its actual position at any time differs by more than a predetermined amount from the predicted position at the same time.
