By collecting manure, this robot ensures clean walking surfaces. This cleanliness leads to a reduction in barn emissions. Furthermore, clean walking surfaces are beneficial for hoof health. Since the manure robot requires neither traditional manure tunnels nor elevated cross passages, it revolutionizes the construction and renovation of cattle barns. It can also be used to clean outdoor exercise areas.
Within the SlurryCollect use case, the robot's practical suitability is assessed based on key parameters. In addition to evaluating cleaning effectiveness, performance, and functionality in summer and winter operation, as well as incorporating user experiences, the new manure removal robot is examined in detail. A further study will investigate its potential for reducing barn emissions
