GTRI Develops Deboning Robot

This is intended for chickens but what happens when the robots take over? Now we have robots that can rip your bones out. Great!

Can we just STOP it already? I hope this guy still has his smug little smile when his machine turns on him and rips his bones out.

Chickens have another reason to lose sleep thanks to roboticists at the Georgia Tech Research Institute’s (GTRI) Intelligent Cutting and Deboning System. Using 3D imaging technology, this robot can debone an entire chicken with the skill of a human butcher and has the potential of saving the poultry industry millions of dollars by reducing costs and waste.

The chicken-deboning robot is still undergoing testing and development by GTRI under funding by the state of Georgia through the Agricultural Technology Research Program, but one day it could help keep Sunday dinner more affordable.
