The main objective of this book is to provide an overview of specific applications in the meat, fish, and poultry industries, thus increasing the awareness and confidence of the food industry in this technology and the opportunities it offers.

Covers applications and basic research in the following fields:

• Meat cutting and deboning
• Fish processing
• Pork processing
• Grading and inspection of food products
• Safety and hygiene issues
• Poultry handling and quality control
• and more...

Robotics in Meat, Fish and Poultry Processing also gives an outline of the opportunities and potentail for future research and development.

It is of particular value to the food and engineering industrial sectors including: production engineers in the meat, fish and poultry industries; engineers in the automation industry; and researchers in food machinery companies and academic institutions.
