Watch: World’s First Raspberry-Picking Robot Completes Field Tasks
8th June 2019
We have spoken on many occasions about the new wave of investments in automation could stimulate the economy after the next economic reset.
And we have also offered many sobering reminders that robots will likely displace 20% to 25% of current jobs (40 million jobs) by 2030. So, in our search for robots that will take jobs of the bottom 90% of Americans, this week, we have stumbled upon the world’s first raspberry-picking robot.
According to The Guardian, the new robot can pick upwards of 25,000 raspberries per day, outpacing human workers that pick around 15,000 in an eight-hour shift.
