- The project page says each run is logged to a backend for analysis, with feeding scheduled twice daily.
Field notes
The described workflow pairs scheduled feeding with a backend record of each run; the team says it uses those records to study feeding, water use and herd care. The site identifies the project with the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, and includes profiles for five researchers across animal science, mechatronics, computer science and cybersecurity. Its poster lists a mobile-based application for IoT connections as a project objective.
