Grant awarded to increase artificial intelligence and robotics use in poultry processing

Control Engineering

Researchers in Arkansas and two other states will be using a $5 million grant to increase use of artificial intelligence and robotics in chicken processing to reduce waste in deboning and detect pathogens. Robotics are fit for repetitive tasks but don’t do well with the precision needed to cut up chicken products.”

New enabling technologies from Automate 2025

Robotics Business Review

This reduces the need for precise fit-up and heavy fixturing. Operators can adjust weld paths and process parameters in real time as they watch the weld pool through machine vision, dramatically minimizing the risk of costly defects due to fit-up variations. This speeds up manufacturing time and increases the quality of the welds.
