Envirobot: an autonomous roving platform for envionmental, health and welfare monitoring of poultry

尽管中国取得了惊人的经济增长，但仍有大量人口处于极端贫困状态。这一需求可以通过大量负担得起的高蛋白食品如鸡肉和鸡蛋来解决。中国养鸡业落后于产量的最佳标准；食品质量;低抗生素用量和无疾病状态。该项目将机器人技术与先进的传感器和气候管理相结合；实时监测，保持最佳气候条件，提高动物福利和产量；家禽疾病的早期发现和抗生素的最少使用。该项目将为家禽养殖场建立一个数据收集平台（提供鸟类气候和健康的详细信息），并添加数据分析和气候控制，以提供最佳的健康、福利和生产产量条件。皇家兽医学院领导这个项目；罗斯机器人;机器人;应用家禽，远程监测；机器人科学疾病早期检测；中国农业大学；精准畜牧；北京德清源农业科技有限公司，家禽厂&北京拓博科技有限公司，机器人优化。

Despite China’s exceptional economic growth there is still extreme poverty effecting large numbers of people. This need can be addressed by large quantities of affordable high protein such as chicken meat & eggs. The Chinese chicken industry lags behind the best standards of production yields; food quality; low anti-biotic usage & disease free status. This project will combine robot technology with advanced sensors & climate management; with real-time monitoring to maintain the best climatic conditions, improving animal welfare & production yield; & early detection of poultry disease & minimal anti-biotics use. The project will build a data collection platform for poultry buildings, (giving detailed information on the climate & health of birds) & add data analysis with climate control to provide optimal health, welfare & production yield conditions. The Royal Veterinary College leads the project; Ross Robotics; the robot; Applied Poultry, remote monitoring; RoboScientific early detection of diseases; China Agricultural University precision livestock farming; Beijing Deqingyuan Agriculture Technology, poultry facilities & Beijing Tobor Technology, optimisation of the robot.
