Dutch agri-robotics firm Lely believes its product offering, including its automatic milking device the Astronaut, could shorten the average working week of farmers by 20 hours. The Astronaut machine stimulates milk production, milks cows, and collects data on cow health and milk quality. Another device is a cow wearable device that feeds data into a digital system viewable on smartphones. In addition to these products, there are also many other ways in which robots can help farmers.
