Abstract
An automated container cutting system includes a cutting tool configured to cut a container and a force feedback sensor operatively connected to the cutting tool. The force feedback sensor is configured to measure resistive force exerted on the cutting tool. The automated container cutting system includes a processor communicatively coupled to the force feedback sensor. The processor is configured to receive resistive force data from the force feedback sensor and determine whether the cutting tool has penetrated through the wall of the container using the received resistive force data.
