From Pathfinder Wiki

The most advanced dairies use robotic milkers. These robots guide the cows into the milking station, scan the cow and record which cow it is, attach to the cow's utter, milk, disengage, measure the amount of milk, and reward the cow with tasty feed, all without the farmer's involvement. This frees the farmer to do other work such as record keeping, crop production and herd management. They also help the farmer get more sleep without the 4:30 AM wake up for milking. Robotics allows 3-4 milkings a day, instead of 1-2 with farmer controled systems, which has proven to give substantially increased milk yield.
