I didn't click the link, but was at a robotic dairy last winter for a tour. That guy said each robot costs 200k and would handle 60 cows. No way that works out if you figure in maintenance and repairs. Most dairies around here are 200-300 cows, so they would need like 6 of them, 1.2 million is a lot of money.
