The use of robots in the Japanese food industry
Yoshihiro KusudaThe purpose of this paper is to review the use of robots in the Japanese food industry, today and tomorrow.
Guidelines for the design of low‐cost robots for the food industry
Rene J. Moreno Masey, John O. Gray, Tony J. Dodd, Darwin G. CaldwellAt present, the majority of industrial robots are not well suited to the specific needs of the food industry. Additionally, the high cost of robotic systems means that it is…
A Bernoulli principle gripper for handling of planar and 3D (food) products
Anders Petterson, Thomas Ohlsson, Darwin G. Caldwell, Steven Davis, John O. Gray, Tony J. DoddThe purpose of this paper is the increase the flexibility of robots used for handling of 3D (food) objects handling by the development and evaluation of a novel 3D Bernoulli…
A new algorithm for pick‐and‐place operation
Vahid Aminzadeh, Helge Wurdemann, Jian S. Dai, John Reed, Graham PurnellThis paper aims to represent a novel framework for optimization of robotic handling from disarray to structure where the products are randomly distributed on a surface, the…
