This is a final frontier.

Picking soft fruit is back breaking, low paid work. If robots can do it, it changes migration patterns and work

I think that kind of work is still known as Stoop Labor.
My knees and back disqualified me from that kind of work over 30 years ago.

Wait until Joe Biden’s latest Trojan Horse full of all those ‘energetic’ illegal aliens finds out that fruit plucking job they were banking on is quickly being phased out for machines.

I guess migrant labor have priced themselves out of the labor market. I know that a farmer near my house in Oregon plowed his raspberry field under because Mexican labor had become too expensive.

I might have picked raspberries when I was 10, but strawberries were the thing where I lived.

Robots don’t crap where they pick.

You are right, this can have a very real impact.

A nut-picking robot could present a real hazard with a software glitch.
