at identifies where to cut the bird.
The robot arm places the bird below the vision system, and it moves the position of the bird with respect to the cutting robot.
The vision system collects the 3-D measurements of various points on the bird, and based on this data, custom algorithms in the system determine the positions of internal structures such as bones and ligaments, and define a proper cut.
In addition, the system uses a force-feedback algorithm which can differentiate meat and the bone,
