Claim 12:
13. The method as recited in claim 12,
where the poultry item has a second breast meat portion removed thereby exposing a second tender meat portion,
where the tender removal debone cutting station includes a second robotic arm assembly having a
second powered knife implement attached to the second robotic arm, where the second power knife implement has a second circular ring shaped annular blade implement attached to and powered by the second power knife implement,

where determining structures and corresponding locations includes the second tender meat portion and a second tender meat portion location, and a second entry point location adjacent the keel location,
determining a second cut path based on the data set and the distinctive local features and structures and the locations of the distinctive local features and structures; and
controlling and articulating the second robotic arm and the attached second power knife implement thereby causing the second circular ring shaped annular blade implement of the second power knife implement to traverse the second cut path thereby severing the second tender meat portion away from the keel bone and a second boney sheath behind the second tender meat portion.
