APPARATUS FOR RETRIEVING AND ATTACHING TEAT CUPS TO DAIRY LIVESTOCK

摘要

A system, comprising: a two-dimensional camera coupled to a gripping portion of a robotic attacher at a fixed location; and a controller operable to: receive a two-dimensional image from the two-dimensional camera; determine where to move the gripping portion based at least in part upon the two-dimensional image and a first calibration, the first calibration based at least in part upon a distance between the two-dimensional camera and a fixed calibration point located on the robotic attacher; and communicate one or more signals instructing the robotic attacher where to move the gripping portion.
