Abstract: Systems and methods for separating and orienting foodstuff using a tank of liquid, mechanical parts, machine vision, and artificial intelligence (AI) modeling. The system employs a tank comprising liquid, strategically placed liquid jets, and a lifting device with a grid plate. Foodstuff batches enter the tank. The submerged grid plate receives the foodstuff, and the liquid jets manipulate them inside the tank. Buoyancy and strategically directed liquid flow separate and orient the individual food items. A mechanical arm equipped with a gripper and other mechanical apparatus manipulates and transports the foodstuff outside the tank. AI models trained on image data depicting the singulation process are used. The AI model guides the system to achieve optimal separation and orientation of the foodstuff, resulting in individually separated and oriented foodstuff units.
