Development of Soft Robotics for Manipulating Irregularly Shaped Food Products
Jaykumar Shah
Abstract: This paper explores the potential of soft robotics in addressing the challenges of handling irregularly shaped food products in the food industry. Unlike traditional rigid systems, soft robotic manipulators offer flexibility, adaptability, and compliance, making them ideal for grasping and manipulating fragile items such as fruits and vegetables. By conforming to variable shapes and textures, these robots minimize damage and improve sorting, packaging, and processing efficiency. However, challenges in precision, control, and adaptability remain. The paper also discusses the ongoing advancements in soft robotics, which aim to enhance performance and broaden their applications in food automation. Soft robotics promises to transform the industry by increasing productivity, reducing waste, and improving food handling safety.
