| An Automatic Milking System (AMS) is a generic term used to refer to automated systems that complete the whole milking process without the direct assistance of milking staff. |

Automatic Milking Systems are often referred to as "robotic" or "voluntary" milking systems.
"Robotic" refers to the robotic arm that performs key functions of the system (eg cup attachment). The term "voluntary" is used because cows can choose when they want to be milked.
They typically consist of a milking stall or crate with a robotic arm that attaches the teat cups to each cow without human intervention, an electronic identification system, and a milking machine.
