Poultry deboning process is one of the largest
employers in the United States and mainly involves human
workers due to the unstructured nature of the task. For the
automation of this process, a cutting device with the adaptive
capability has been developed. In this paper, we focused on the
kinematics of this device and the accuracy of the actual cutting
point location. We validated the kinematic formulation and
proofed the confidence of the accurate cutting. The applied
verification method can be generalized to be applicable to general
kinematics verification.
