Micheal is a quiet, egg-shaped robot from FUNAAB. Twice a day it drives the cattle lane, dispenses concentrated feed and logs the run to a backend for analysis.
From the project poster
An Intelligent Feeding Mechanism for Enhanced Cattle Production in Nigeria
Scroll to send Micheal down the lane.
Micheal drives the cattle lane on its own, quietly.
Twice a day, at set times, it dispenses concentrated feed along the route.
Each run is logged and sent to a backend for analysis.
The team reads the record to tune feeding, water use and herd care.
