Abstract[English]
The present invention relates to a wearable device for livestock and an associated method for guiding animals to a target location, where to guide the animal into the zone the device comprises a controller, stimulus apparatus and a position sensor. A problem with current animal guidance systems is that animals may learn to turn off stimulus devices by adjusting their headings, without moving towards a target location. The present device only stimulates the animal if the animal is outside of a preferred heading threshold, where the heading threshold is defined by an angle range headed in a direction from the animal location to the target location, and the angle range decreases relative to one or more variables so as to encourage the animal to maintain a constant heading.[French]
La présente invention concerne un dispositif portable pour bétail et un procédé associé pour guider des animaux vers un emplacement cible, le guidage de l'animal dans la zone comprenant un dispositif de commande, un appareil de stimulus et un capteur de position. Un problème avec les systèmes actuels de guidage d'animaux réside dans le fait que les animaux peuvent apprendre à éteindre des dispositifs de stimulus en ajustant leur direction, sans se déplacer vers un emplacement cible. Le présent dispositif stimule uniquement l'animal si l'animal est à l'extérieur d'un seuil de direction préféré, le seuil de direction étant défini par une plage d'angles dirigée dans une direction allant de l'emplacement de l'animal à l'emplacement cible, et la plage d'angles diminuant par rapport à une ou plusieurs variables de façon à encourager l'animal à maintenir une direction constante.
