This equipment is used for both instructional and research purposes. Recently, Dr. Earnest Fant used the IBM 7575 SCARA robotic arm/machine vision work cell with the food-processing conveyor to develop an automated system for assessing the internal temperature of cooked meat portions. The system ensures that the proper methodology is followed consistently and provides feedback concerning the the safety of the cooking process. The ADEPT Robotic Arms are new additions to the laboratory facilities in 2005 and are expected to be used extensively in future research projects as well as class assignments.
