Related: About this forumAre Fruit-Picking Drones The Future Of Harvesting? (Insider News)
2 years ago
Tech companies in Israel have designed fruit-picking drones and tree-pollinating 'paddles' to make farms more efficient at a time of worker shortages and climate change. In Chile, flying robots use artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect ripe apples before pulling the fruit from the tree.

we will die of malnutrition and starvation. When you don't work, there is no paycheck. Who will pay taxes to support the unemployed?
Prepare for violent outcry as millions lose gainful employment.
Justice matters.
(10,123 posts)3. The problem is (aside from the healty habits)...
with what money (the epstein-class oligarchs don't want safety nets at all).
Fruit picking would be a horrible job. Reaching a quota and piecework up on a ladder. Most manual machining has been replaced with CNC which is definitely safer for the operators. Manual form grinding in Tool and Die has been replaced with CNC grinders or wire EDM. Less scrap more quality and productivity. i have seen all of it since 1979.
