IMAG publication 207, 1985 milking in a feeding box (in Dutch)

this is the first report, I know of, about an experiment to milk cows automatically. In fact it was more a study whether it would be feasable to do so. People at IMAG had the idea that with a robotic arm it could be possible to milk cows in a feeder box. Cows then have to come voluntarilly and will they do that? Therefore a very interesting experiment which is, in my opinion, the birth of the modern Automatic Milking System
