Title:
Teleoperated Haptic MR Robot for Meat Processing Applications
Agreement Number:
ISC-MPAC-007574
Agreement Value:
$150,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jan 1, 2022 - Jun 30, 2022
Description:
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.
Organization:
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
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.
