Shadow robot - bandsaw cutting of beef shank- stage 1

22 April 2022
Focus area: Hands-off processing
Program stream: Advanced manufacturing
Project number: 2021-1223
AMPC partnered with the Danish Meat Research Institute (DMRI) to investigate telemanipulation technologies to remove operators from hazardous red meat processing tasks. This project focused on cutting beef shanks on a band saw. 

DMRI successfully completed trials of a Viper system (viper, robot, and tool). The system was able to produce a steady consistence in quality for the shank cut samples with an experienced operator controlling the process fully remote.
