I am not so sure either why a complex robotic arm with 5-6 DOF is necessary. It seems more suited for manufacturing in general, for handling components of varying size and complexity, or areas with limited space issues. Or the need for more modular-based processes But farms generally have lots of land / space availability. The pipeline for growing, farming, and transporting crops is fairly predictable, minus unexpected events like hurricanes/tornados/rainfall, diseases, pests, spoilage, etc With farming, everything to my understanding is mostly predictable for crop size. Farms generally specialize in one type of crop if I'm not mistaken, especially if its hydrophonics /inhouse like in the dutch farm video mentioned in this thread. SCARA makes more sense for farming
