Abstract: An arrangement for determining a body condition score of an animal comprises a three-dimensional camera system directed towards the animal and provided for recording at least one three-dimensional image of the animal; and an image processing device connected to the three-dimensional camera system and provided for forming a three-dimensional surface representation of a portion of the animal from the three- dimensional image recorded by the three-dimensional camera system; for statistically analyzing the surface of the three-dimensional surface representation; and for determining the body condition score of the animal based on the statistically analyzed surface of the three-dimensional surface representation.

Abstract: A milking robot for teat cup attachment includes a robot arm having a gripper for holding at least one teat cup at a time; an image recording device mounted on the robot arm and provided to record at least one image of the teats of a milking animal; and a control device provided to control the robot arm to position the teat cup at a teat of the milking animal based on the at least one image of her teats. The image recording device is, before being provided to record the at least one image of the teats of the milking animal, provided to record at least one image of her hind legs; and the control device is, before being provided to control the robot arm to attach the teat cup to the teat of the milking animal, provided to control the robot arm to move the teat cup between her hind legs, from her rear and towards her udder, based on the at least one image of her hind legs.
