Never mess with a robot meat cutter

Attention aspiring meat cutters: You may want to consider another line of work. Popular Science has video of the HAMDAS-R, a robotic ham de-boner, in action. And it’s knocking out 500 hams an hour, which apparently is twice as fast as the fastest human ham cutter.

While the robot is pretty incredible, and we’ll get back to its stabby knives in a second, it’s fairly amazing to consider that one man or woman could break down 250 hams in an hour. That’s four hams a minute. Think about how long it takes your dad to carve the Thanksgiving turkey.
