A method for serving animals, such as milking dairy animals, allowed to go loose in an enclosed area, with animal stalls with a robot, said stalls having entrance (6) and exit (7) gates being controlled by a control means for being opened and/or closed. The invention also refers to an appara-tus for serving animals, using the in-vented method. The invention im-proves the known method and appara-tus to achieve an increased efficiency by arranging a service area (3) such as to comprise at least three stationary animal stalls (4), placing the animal stalls (4) around a robot (5) to form a central robot inner area, and arranging a displaceable service and/or milking robot (5) in said inner area, said robot (5) being associated with said control means and being capable of moving to and serving each one of the animal stalls (4). The efficiency is further in-creased by arranging a strolling area between the outer border (2) of the en-closed area (10) and the central robot area with animal stalls (4) and dividing said strolling area (10) into subareas in various ways by the use of separation means (9, 11) which also may com-prise controlled one-way passing gates (14) for the animals.
