Why Robot Arms Still Cant Handle Raw Chicken
In this episode of The Robotics Podcast, Lucas and Luna drill into one of the messiest challenges in industrial robotics: handling raw chicken. From slippery skin to irregular shapes, poultry defies the precision that robot arms are built for. They unpack the physics of low-friction surfaces, the limits of force sensors, and why a recent breakthrough in soft grippers from a European research lab changed the game. Along the way, they tie it back to the broader economics of automation in food processing, with real numbers on labor costs and throughput. Expect a concrete takeaway: why your…
