We have just started a project called POTATO OPERATION, whose purpose is
to automatize pulp samples extraction for potato viruses analysis.
Every year, hundred of thousands of potatoes have to be sampled for the
presence of potato viruses. This implies grasping one potato, localizing
its crown (region +/- near the top most germs), drilling at the basis of a
germ in this region. The substance is then analyzed with an ELISA test.
We mostly work on the imaging problem (germ localization). We also
have interest in the handling problem.
