Animal farm system and method of generating barn map information of said animal farm system

An animal farm system, comprising:

• a barn for holding animals, the barn having walls, wherein the animals are allowed to move about freely within the barn;
• at least one animal related structure positioned within the barn;
• and
• an autonomous vehicle arranged to perform an animal related action and to move about in the barn,
• wherein the vehicle comprises:
• a control unit to control the autonomous vehicle at least to move the vehicle about in the barn;
• a position determining system operably connected to the control unit, for determining a position of the vehicle in the barn with respect to a reference position;
• a sensor system operably connected to the control unit, and arranged to repeatedly determine a value of a parameter related to a position of the vehicle with respect to the barn or an object therein;
• and
• a vehicle communication device operably connected to the control unit,
• wherein the control unit is arranged to receive motion control information and/or navigation information via the vehicle communication device,
• wherein the animal farm system further comprises an external communication device arranged to exchange information with the vehicle communication device,
• wherein the control unit is arranged to send the at least one determined position of the vehicle, and the at least one determined parameter value via the vehicle communication device to the external communication device,
• wherein the external communication device is arranged to visualize the received at least one determined position of the vehicle, and to display the received at least one determined parameter value in dependence of the momentary determined position of the vehicle to a user, and
• wherein the external communication device is further arranged for receiving barn map information input from the user on the basis of the displayed position and/or parameter values, and is further arranged to send the inputted barn map information to the control unit.
