I didn’t click the link, but that photo looks like a carefully set up elevated growing platform. Does this thing work outside under actual strawberry field conditions?

This product has only been demonstrated by the Japanese company — Shibuya Seiki at last week’s annual Auto-ID and Communication Expo at the Tokyo Big Sight convention center.

It’s not even on sale yet.

According to the article:

The robot will go on sale early next year for about ¥5 million.

Strawberries are available all year round in Japan and typically fetch ¥500 for a small basket.
