This project will develop new artificial intelligence systems for automating control over light levels in chicken sheds (smart lighting system) that dynamically responds to chicken behaviour to improve welfare and productivity. The right lighting sequence in chicken barns is well known to improve feed conversion efficiency and overall productivity. However, farmers are still largely monitoring for problems through manual surveillance and lighting control gives only day/night cycles and blanket control of the whole barn. Our work will develop a system that uses chicken vocalisations to identify problems of clustering and bullying and then modify the light levels to cause chicken dispersal, thereby reducing occurrence of problems.

该项目将开发新的人工智能系统，用于自动控制鸡舍的光照水平（智能照明系统），动态响应鸡的行为，以提高福利和生产力。鸡舍中正确的照明顺序众所周知可以提高饲料转化效率和整体生产率。然而，农民仍然主要通过人工监视和照明控制来监测问题，只提供白天/黑夜周期和整个谷仓的毯子控制。我们的工作将开发一个系统，使用鸡的发声来识别集群和欺凌的问题，然后修改光照水平，使鸡分散，从而减少问题的发生。
