About
Roberta Matera is a rising researcher at the forefront of precision livestock farming, with a focused expertise in the intersection of dairy science, automation, and artificial intelligence. Her work centers on optimizing Automatic Milking Systems (AMS) and developing novel sensor technologies to improve animal health and farm efficiency. Matera’s most significant contribution is the development of the first fully automated AI-driven thermal imaging system integrated with robotic milking, specifically designed for the real-time detection of mastitis in Italian Mediterranean Buffalo. This pioneering work, published in 2025, has already garnered 4 citations for its potential to revolutionize disease monitoring in a challenging livestock sector. Her research also includes a comparative performance analysis of different AMS generations (6 citations) and a randomized-controlled study on the effects of milking permission settings and concentrate supplementation on pasture-based systems (3 citations). Through these studies, Matera is establishing herself as a key figure in the transition toward data-driven, automated dairy management, demonstrating how cutting-edge AI can be applied to solve traditional agricultural problems.
