this type of thing is all over Japan.
They had miniaturised radio controlled helicopters over every right field 15 years ago.
Throw out all the Mexicans, we don’t need them.
they are a brake on Innovation and they like fluorescent Jesus figurines.
What they don’t tell you is the up-and-down stream opportunities opened up by new technology. Always happens. Always has, always will, despite the constant presence of the nay-sayers.
These are the droids we’re looking for.
You better make sure the OFF button stops those things cold, once they go haywire and start damaging crops.
I’ve herd cattle, but I never understood what they said.
The reduction of manpower in agriculture has been going on since the industrial revolution and has been key to our prosperity. If you think being able to eat until you are full and have the energy to do other productive things then be glad that this trend continues.
This is the type of automation that should be welcomed. Farm work, particularly for fruits and vegetables and especially grapes and berries, is very detailed and boring and also seasonal. Migrant labor is just not a good way for anyone to earn money and its elimination would solve several problems.
Just the beginning. When these kinds of things happen in manufacturing, should we ban these kinds of robots to ‘save jobs’?
Illegal immigration has only hurt innovation and tech in farming. Cheap workers has been used to offset the investment into automation; things are finally changing.
If it knows the difference between a veggie and a weed, I'll take two for the garden.
So it’s true that in Strawberry Fields, nothing is real.
So what will we do with a surplus of unskilled labor?
Wish we had those, oh about 150 years ago.
Re: “The Rover is designed to herd cattle.”
If it can be programmed to herd sheep, two Rovers can film the sequel to Broke Bot Mountain.
We need to import Mexican robots!
