It interesting to think what this could do for farming. Imagine one of these to a field continuously driving around. First weeding, killing pests, targeted watering, then when you get to harvesting you can be so much more targeted. If you have an order for 100 lettuce of x weight, the robot can remember the 100 that most closely match that weight, and go an harvest that 100 only, replanting a seed in the space. Or you could plant at double density and harvest every other one young.
It could measure nutrients and moisture in every square metre of soil, recording what grows best where in each patch of a field.
The amount of precision it could bring is amazing, potentially organic, and at least much improved efficiencies and carbon emissions.
