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 ...

Forest Harvesting and Water Management [PDF]
The Forestry Chronicle, 1968 Forest harvesting affects water management. Total water yield, flow regime and water quality are affected. Usually, in Western Canada, these effects — whether for good or ill — are accidental and are not taken into consideration in management. This is at least partly due to resource management people being resource oriented (technocentric) rather than

Contemporary forest harvesting impacts on water quality and treatability
Forested landscapes are critical source regions for the supply of drinking water globally. The increasing frequency and severity of climate shocks (e.g., wildfire, floods) in these regions can deteriorate source water quality.

The Forest Sector: Important Innovations [PDF]
Unlike other resources such as petroleum, coal, and copper, forests are renewable. Yet, in many respects forests historically have been treated as a nonrenewable resource in that forest stocks were depleted or "mined" and loggers moved on to exploit ...
