Teleoperated Haptic MR Robot for Meat Processing Applications
EF 2021-22 · 2022-01-01
Résumé
The objective of this project aims to develop an optionally-tele operated haptic magnetorheological (MR) robotic arm system, that, in combination with AI learning, could enable a multitude of tasks that are notoriously difficult to automate, such as deboning of red meat due to the natural complexity and sizing variation of red meat animals. The overall goal of this project is to provide an economical solution that can be either bought or rented by any size facility.

Description (French)
L'objectif de ce projet vise à concevoir un système de bras robotique magnétorhéologique (MR) haptique à téléopération optionnelle qui, en combinaison avec l’apprentissage par l’IA, pourrait permettre une multitude de tâches qui sont notoirement difficiles à automatiser, comme le désossage de la viande rouge, en raison de la complexité naturelle et de la variation de la taille des animaux à viande rouge. L’objectif global de ce projet est de fournir une solution économique qui pourrait être achetée ou louée par des installations de toute taille.
Expected Results
To support technological innovation in meat processing facilities that will introduce new automated advances to existing processing formats, address increased safety measures for workers, maintain food quality levels, and abide by food safety regulations.
Expected Results (French)
À stimuler l'innovation technologique aux installations de transformation de la viande, qui introduira de nouvelles avancées sur le plan de l'automatisation aux procédés de transformation existants, adopter des mesures de sécurité accrues pour le travail
