With Farm Robotics, the Cows Decide When It’s Milking Time
EASTON, N.Y. — Something strange is happening at farms in upstate New York. The
cows are milking themselves.

across the state are charging into a brave new world of udder care: robotic
milkers, which feed and milk cow after cow without the help of a single
farmhand.

If you don't believe that robots will be doing most things before so very long,
I recommend the 3 minute video connected with the story.
