Short summary
Our vision is to create a solution for continuous monitoring of cattle wellbeing and pasture management that is modular, scalable, non-dependent on large quantities of manually annotated data and, of foremost importance, highly relevant for end-users and their unique challenges.
Our solution aims to reduce the randomness of animal inspections and provide earlier indications of potential health issues in any animal under any circumstances.
We will use a highly customizable inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receiver to collect data relevant to on-the-go decision-making. Additionally, our solution will address the issue of animals escaping from enclosures or pastures.
Our system will facilitate this process by tracking the animals' movement history and marking the potential area of the breach in the user-friendly application, reducing the need for manual inspection.
