Subject

The world population is rising exponantialy and thogether with it the food consumtion. This means that the number of livestock must increase, as well as the productivity. Farmers are forced to keep hundreds of animals and manualy keeping track of each of them is not practical. Dosmetic animals can get sick, lost or get stolen and sometimes it is too dificult to detect this when the animal is along with hundred others. Thats why automaiton is required to help fermers take care of the livestock. Current advances in technology can be adopted for use in the farming sector and by doing so to ensure the animals wellfare and increase productivity.

Project

Approach

In order to complete the project within deadlines, we plan to start reading and summarizing the papers in the first week, being followed by establishing the USE aspect plus the impact of the technology on the animals. In the fifth week already, we plan to start working on the prototype which will be a simulation in Java that will show a location(has to be determined) and few types of animals(chosen according to the sick behavior study). Then, by allowing the user to select an animal, that animal becomes sick, the simulation detects that and finally reports it to the user. During last weeks we also have to specify why is it robotics and what advantages or disadvantages are present.

Milestones

Milestones are shown in the planning picture. In the first week, we already plan to have summarized the papers and use them to identify patterns in sick animals behavior and what technologies can be used to detect these changes. In the 3rd week, the milestone is to deliver a full analysis of the USE aspects. During the following two weeks, we expect the simulation to work. The last milestone is to prepare all deliverables for handing in.

Deliverables

As deliverables we decided to prepare the following:

A presentation, which will be held in the last week. During this presentation, all of our work will be presented and a simulation will run.

A simulation of the subject treated. For example, a barn that has a lot of animals(about 200-300) of different species(cows, pigs, chickens). The user will be allowed to place the identification technologies around the barn and "make" some of the animals sick. The simulation shall be able to discover which animal is sick by analyzing its behavior. The user is notified which animal might be sick.

Research paper of the technology described above, which will take into account the advantages, disadvantages, costs, and impact of such an implementation.
