To address the feed arching phenomenon that occurs during the feeding process of beef cattle and to satisfy the individualized feeding requirements of beef cattle, a roller-brush type supplementary feeding and pushing robot was designed in this study, which consists of a roller-brush pushing device, a screw-type supplementary feeding device, and an Ackermann chassis. The structural design of the feeding screw and the pushing roller brush was completed, and the motion behavior of feed particles was analyzed. In order to investigate the influence of the motion parameters of the supplementary feeding and pushing robot on the feeding and pushing performance, a simulation analysis of the robot’s motion process was carried out based on the EDEM-RecurDyn coupling method. First, the contact parameters among total mixed ration (TMR) particles as well as between the feed and the mechanical components were determined. Subsequently, dynamic models of the supplementary feeding device and the pushing device were respectively constructed in RecurDyn, and a flexible mesh was generated for the roller brush. Finally, a feed particle model was built in the EDEM software, and the device models were imported to complete the coupled simulation. In the study of feeding performance, the screw rotation speed and the robot’s travelling speed were taken as experimental factors, while feeding uniformity and feeding efficiency were used as evaluation indicators. In the study of pushing performance, the roller brush rotation speed, the roller brush deflection angle, and the robot’s travelling speed were taken as experimental factors, and the pushing rate and pushing efficiency were used as evaluation indicators. Single-factor and orthogonal experimental methods were adopted for the simulation tests. The simulation results showed that when the screw rotation speed of the supplementary feeding and pushing robot was 160 r/min, the robot travelling speed was 0.68 m/s, the roller brush rotation speed was 450 r/min, and the roller brush deflection angle was 40°, the feeding uniformity exceeded 96%, the feeding efficiency reached 120.6 kg/min, the pushing rate was 98.25%, and the pushing efficiency was 418.94 kg/min. Prototype tests were carried out under these optimal parameters, and the obtained results were as follows: feeding uniformity greater than 93%, feeding efficiency of 135.8 kg/min, pushing rate of 97.90%, and pushing efficiency of 311.90 kg/min. The designed robot exhibits good working performance and can meet the auxiliary feeding requirements of small- and medium-scale cattle barns.
