The first North American Conference on Robotic Milking

North American adoption of automatic milking is in its infancy but developing fast. The first commercial robotic milking systems were installed in Ontario, Canada in March 1999. At the present 16 dairy farms have installed an AM-system. From March 20 until 22, 2002 the first North American Conference on Robotic Milking will be held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The goal of this conference is to provide an international forum for sharing research and experience-based information on robotic milking form around the world. Several research results from the EU project Automatic Milking will be presented. For more information go to: http://www.ontariodhi.com/robotics.
