I totally thought that as well... at first... so I went down the rabbit hole. The average is 5 seconds... And getting faster, and newer models can have 10 "arms", the arms are the cheap part if driven by one computer with a graphics card that's plummeting in price... The camera modules are super cheap. And factoring in the time to bring a human on a bus to and from the fields each day, walk between plants, plus their breaks, lunches, bathroom breaks, distractions, checking phones, talking, and time for supervisors, HR, managers, etc etc I'd bet a human is actually far slower. The robots work 24/7 (they now have lights), and one robot costs $250 per month on an equipment capital lease, yields more than 6 employees per day... So $0.33 per hour for the robot vs what I would gather is closer to $40 (all in, wages, housing, transportation, taxes, insurance, payroll, administration costs) per hour for humans. Also 75,000 strawberries picked per day per $250/mo robot could be why here in Arizona California grown strawberries are often $0.87 per pint... Just wait until electric semis reduce transportation costs by 80%. Crazy times are here, this is going to happen so fast. I'm 51 and I think we're going to be blindsided with the automation and robotics and AI age ... It'll happen in 3-5 years.
@@BenBethelAZ it doesn't go against God's plan, so if it works I say go with it. Hope it does. These are the things technology should be used for. Sure beats trying to customize babies and DNA, lol. My statement wasn't with hate it was just what I couldn't get over thinking so I decided to see what other people say but you made some good points thank you.
Not really ,fertilizer is disolved in water .One kind of hydroponis consist in using a piscifactory as a way of nitrating the water ,while the farm uses the nutrients and and depurates the water .
Hum this could be a catch 22 situation . Who knows where the farming industry will be in the next ten years but im excited to see where it goes. Indoor farming and robotics will be a huge industry becase we all need to eat, maybe we can fund a way to make heat Katy food more affordable to everyone. America needs to get rid of the food deserts in the inner cities and teach children more about growing and taking care of the insects that are needed for healthy crops. God bless our planet and our food and water source.
Farming will never be indoors. Scale is impossible to make profitable inside. The actual plan for farming is mass exploitation of immigrant workers. Which climate change is creating plenty of. While also making farm work deadlier.
@@Praisethesunson not sure if I agree, have you seen containers that have been set up to grow i any weather condition? It also help with invasion of insects. Google has invested in these grow containers and some countries have indoor farms that grow thousands of pounds of fruits and vegetables. It seems to be gaining popularity and more people are investing in indoor growing..
@@lunanegra6253 Google is a monopoly. It is easy for them to throw money away. Indoor cannot work because it isn't profitable. And food is grown(and wasted) at the behest of profit. Like yes it is literally possible to grow a bunch of crops indoors, but that does not mean you make money on whatever you grew.
well the United States this year what's the weather Surprise now that climate change we are seeing the coldest ever here decades and decades we never had such a early winter in America these early Winters will cost Americans a lot on heating prices
Forward moving progress.
Doubt they are adding the cost of programing, or manufacturing the robot
What is the name of this company that made this machine?
Im pretty sure it was collage students i could be wrong tho
Amazing, and it only takes 30 seconds to pick each strawberry. That should work out great.

Robots can't think of their own. They react to sensors according to instructions they are fed.
hydroponics are only chemicals based, sounds extremely unhealthy. (no dirt)

that robot speak spanish?
Dit is gewoon die ene buurman en buurman aflevering

Why do not test it in Poland now?
Now I have seen everything. Robots that seem to be thinking.
And you kip pay the same price corporations looking to make more profit with minimum ofert to pay employees

All that global warming causing the early winter right?
