Spoutnic is a support robot designed to educate hens to lay in their nest boxes. The hens get up on his approach and return to the nest. Normally, the breeder has to go around all his buildings every hour or even half an hour at the peak of the laying, to prevent the hens from laying their eggs on the ground. The small autonomous Spoutnic robot easily passes under the chains of supply and can circulate in all the building. Its battery holds the day and recharges in one night. It frees breeders from a tedious and long task, allowing a better yield and limiting the number of decommissioned eggs.
