It slices! It dices! Sashimi-Bot handles seafood with ease

Researchers developed a three-armed robot capable of precisely filleting raw salmon on June 18, 2026, as detailed in a publication in Nature. This robotic system, named Sashimi-Bot, successfully navigated the challenges posed by the irregular shapes and soft textures of raw fish fillets. The robot's dexterity allowed it to perform a clean cut through a salmon loin, a task that has proven difficult for automated systems due to the inherent variability of the material. The development represents a significant advancement in robotic manipulation for delicate and irregularly shaped food items, potentially paving the way for automated seafood processing.
