i-LEED - Advanced cattle feeding on pasture through innovative pasture management
The aim of the project is to optimise the feeding of cattle on pasture and the management of the pasture through introduction and fusion of innovative tools like the pasture robot and the i-LEED software. Finally, a fully functional pasture robot will be demonstrated. The pasture robot will be developed based on a redesigned existing robotic platform in order to allow stable movement under difficult terrain conditions. Mehr
