"About 5% of UK farms already use robotic milking, according to Liz
Snaith of the Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers. But they
also constitute about 30% of all new milking systems being purchased.
Cows on such farms are essentially free to walk into one of the
milking robots' holding areas at any point of the day - except for the
occasional queue.
Once inside, they're identified by their tags. If the cow's been
milked too recently, an electronic gate leads it out. But if not, its
udders are brushed and cleaned before a laser pinpoints exactly where
to clamp the milk pumps, adjusting its grip to be as gentle as
possible."
####
next...
process the milk automatically and produce ice cream...
then send it to market by self-driving vans
and then onto customers...
untouched by human hand
and the old fogies and related luddites still believe that a citizen's
wage won't come...
i do also wonder how they hope to sell products to people who have
no traditional work
