Although the advent of the assembly line helped set the stage for increased productivity and efficiency across numerous industries, some benefited more than others. The poultry industry has taken some steps to adopt assembly line strategies but has remained somewhat stagnant with limited addition of robotics at the product level, still relying heavily on human workers to debone chickens to get the most meat yield possible at processing plants. But a team from four research institutions—the University of Arkansas, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and Fort Valley State University—is leading an effort to develop industry-specific AI and robotics specifically for this purpose.
