Peeling Brussels Sprouts with Robots

In the UK we eat copious amounts of this little green vegetable, but usually only at Christmas. When you buy a packet of ready-to-go brussels sprouts from Waitrose this season, you will be able to open the bag and tip them into your cooking pot. This is because robots have already done the work of tidying up the product by trimming the stem so that the outer layer falls off.
Peeling sprouts with robots is no mean feat because a human being has two eyes and a brain and processes the information required to apply the knife at the right position, along the stem at just the right point that will allow the outer layer of leaves to be shed. Emulating this work with machines requires a number of innovative technologies to be integrated into one system.
Read more about how we use Scorpion 2D Stinger Vision systems to achieve this.
