A motorized feeding vehicle and a method of operating an animal farming system

摘要

The present invention relates to a motorized feeding vehicle for an animal farming system. The motorized feeding vehicle comprises a control unit, a feeding system and a user operated movement control system. The operated control system is controlling a power system and a steering system. The motorized feeding vehicle further comprises a satellite navigation system receiver, a proximity sensor and an internal position sensor comprising a direction sensor and a velocity sensor for generating respective parameters. The control unit defines a first mode and a second mode. The first mode constitutes a learn mode in which the user controls the motorized feeding vehicle via the user movement control system and the control unit is continuously recording data. The second mode constitutes an autonomous mode in which the control unit is controlling the power system, the steering system and an animal feeding system by comparing the parameters and the recorded data.
