Fish deboning requires knowledge of anatomy

Abstract

Outlines the development of a sensor‐quipped robot system using knowledge‐based information processing techniques. The prototype application concerns the removal of the lateral pin bones from fish fillets by means of waterjet cutting, guided by a gantry robot. Describes the sensor system and how it gathers information about each individual fish, and the knowledge‐based control system which based on it’s a priori knowledge of fillet characteristics, determines the cutting co‐ordinates of the proposed cutting path. Gives trial results and concludes that the system is a practical solution for the processing of naturally varying products.
