A key enabling component in automated milking systems is the 3D sensor that identifies and locates the teat positions on the cow's udder as it steps into the milking box. The information derived from the sensor is used to guide a robot arm to attach the milking cups to the teats. The entire process of locating teats and attaching cups must be robust, fast, accurate and safe, without disturbing or stressing the cow.
