Purpose – This 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 initial location of the products are known (with the aid of image processing, laser position sensors, etc.) and...

Purpose – The mechanization of the meat cutting companies has become essential. This paper aims to study the feasibility of cutting operations for beef and boning operations for pork ham. The study aims to enhance industrial robots application by using vision or force control....

Purpose – This paper aims to investigate reconfigurable technology using robotic technology for folding carton in confectionery industry. Design/methodology/approach – Based on the analysis of common motion and manipulation, modules such as robotic fingers and robotic folders are explored...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to focus on the accurate and steady control on trajectory tracking for wafer transfer robot, suppress the vibration and reduce the contour error. Design/methodology/approach – The wafer transfer robot dynamic model is modeled. Through analyzing the...

Purpose – This paper aims to introduce and identify a new 3D handling operation (bin picking) for natural discrete food products using food categorisation. Design/methodology/approach – The research shows a new food categorisation and the relation between food ordering processes and food...
