ROBOTIC CARCASS PROCESSING METHOD AND SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A22B5/20 

FIELD: meat processing.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to the meat processing industry, specifically to robotic systems for processing carcasses. Robotic carcass processing system uses a pair of robotic arms having multiple axes of motion, a saw mounted thereon, and a controller. Controller moves the saw in Cartesian space via inverse kinematics with interpolation control over the multiple axes of the robotic arm to synchronously move the saw relative to a carcass on an assembly line. Controller also determines when one of the robotic arms has moved its saw out of a defined space to indicate that space is clear and to permit the other robotic arm to enter that space. Controller sends a signal to the robotic arms to either effect a standard cut or to modify the standard cut at the identified location or carcass.

EFFECT: enabling to use robotic stations in stationary reference positions for processing animal carcasses, including separation into parts of hanging pigs or beef carcasses and maintaining control of the movement of the processing tool while the carcasses continuously move along the production line.
