That's very cool. I have mixed feelings on replacing humans in yet another role, but if it can do a better job than humans (automatically dump & flag mastitis cases, clean more thoroughly, etc.) it's a win.

In the case of these robotic milking machines, one of the owners (the mother of the family) said that it had rejuvenated their interest in the dairy industry. I guess it would remove the early morning starts and sitting around watching cows for signs of heat which would get old fast.
