Researchers in Arkansas and two other states will be using a $5 million grant to increase use of artificial intelligence and robotics in chicken processing to reduce waste in deboning and detect pathogens. $2.1 million of the grant will go to Georgia Tech to focus on automating the processing lines that turn chickens into meat.

The Tri-Service Open Architecture Interoperability Demonstration – a new, exclusive event for the media, acquisition community, and industry influencers – will be held on January 29, 2020, hosted by the Georgia Tech Research Institute at the GTRI Conference Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
