We are obsolete.
Wall-eeee
that girl instantly says THIS IS BULLSHIT
they looks like wall-e
I don't think these guys know that the tractor was invented…
And if these thing stop working with a virus or are hacked like uavs have been, then who makes the food, who feeds us, does society break down? Yes.
it only moves pots from one point to another point – this absolutely save the word.
This reporter was condescending with the name and with the uninspiring example of moving pots around. Harvest Automation should've been able to salvage their reputation in this clip by being able to explain the potential of their technology.
SCV good to go!
Lame Bloomberg!.. this robot shuffles buckets. It plants nothing and it harvests nothing.. there are some awesome agricultural bots out there but this isn't one of them!
Reminds me of Huey, Dewey, and Louie from Silent Running.
uh look a dumb scientist !!! we wont have any problems producing food for 9b people … like now we can have lots of food but wee we have problems and will have problems distribuing it. like industrializating huge amount of land with low eficiency on power consumption, like using robots harvesting at high resources cost but low on financial cost. yup we will have a lot of hungry people but because of miss use of technology and resources and corporate frendly policies not because the incapacity of producing food.
the one named WEED…
XD
Yeah robot go fetch everything for me I just want to sit and be fat and lazy. I don't want to move lol.
This will help solve the food crisis and bring the cost of food down. This is amazing tech.
when i win the euro lottery , i am going to get these to grow weed for me in a secret underground porn studio.
Youtube thought I would want to watch this. Youtube was right. #RaceAgainstTheMachine .
