AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional laboratory animal husbandry and observation methods rely on manual operation, which leads to significant stress, a conflict between animal welfare and data quality, strong subjectivity in observation, low work efficiency, and high biosafety risks. Existing automated equipment has limited functionality and has failed to fundamentally solve these systemic problems.

Method used

An intelligent management system is adopted, including a lurking lifting and transporting robot, a manure dumping system, an automatic feeding and experimental auxiliary robot, and a central control unit, to achieve fully unmanned operation. It integrates technologies such as 3D visual recognition and infrared temperature measurement to form a digital twin for recording and analyzing data.

Benefits of technology

It has enabled unmanned management of laboratory animals, improved animal welfare and data authenticity, reduced labor costs, ensured data reliability and system flexibility, and cut off the transmission chain of zoonotic diseases.

Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent management system and method for experimental animals, and belongs to the technical field of experimental animal science and automation. The animal cage underframe is arranged at the lower end of the experimental animal cage; the excrement tray is movably arranged at the lower end of the animal cage chassis; the latent jacking transfer robot is used for carrying out translation and transposition of the experimental animal cage and picking and transferring of the excrement tray; an excrement dumping system; an automatic feeding and experiment auxiliary robot; and the central control unit is used as a command center, is in signal connection with the latent jacking transfer robot, the excrement dumping system and the automatic feeding and experiment auxiliary robot, and is responsible for task planning, resource allocation, data aggregation and intelligent analysis. According to the invention, real unmanned experimental animal disposal is realized, the whole process from feeding, cleaning to health monitoring is completed by a robot cluster, and a chain of human and livestock co-disease transmission is thoroughly cut off.
