Abstract
This chapter presents the findings of a research programme leading to the development of a robotic system specifically for packaging poultry portions. The results show that an integrated system, incorporating machine vision and robots, can be made feasible for industrial use. The elements of this system, including the end-effector, the vision module, the robot hardware and the system software, are presented. Models and algorithms for automatic recognition and handling of poultry portions are discussed.
