ABSTRACT:
The milking apparatus does not need the continuous presence of the dairy farmer. A mobile member coupled with a teat cup follows the free movements of one or more teats of a cow by means of detection member and by means of control means coupled with the mobile member.
Detection means for detecting the position of the teat can comprise first and second light radiating elements as well as first and second light receiving elements.
The milking apparatus can make use of a generally available robot or be designed separately.
