Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

Animal husbandry is an ancient occupation that formed the basis of the evolution of the human species. The consumption of animal products has contributed to the development of healthy humans, considering that foods such as milk and eggs are considered complete, providing all the essential amino acids that the human body cannot synthesise.
