What might be great would be if:
1. Robots never became self-aware;
2. Robots did everything; people would be allowed to work if they wanted;
3. Everybody could retire and travel or whatever, because the robots would do everything for free... even rebuild themselves when they wore out.
Watch: Flying-Robo Harvester Picks Ripe Fruit, Set To Displace Humans
This takes it up a notch. It is also the solution for soft small fruit as well. Once you are down to a two pound weight scale, then it is down to a manipilator arm and a specific tool. All this can be nicely engineered.
The software aspects looks to now be well in hand.
Thus a continous rotation of fruit ripening can be planned for rather easily. We may even be able to radishes as well along with all sorts of vegetables if desired.
THe whole problem of raising all fruit and vegetables is in the picking. It is mental drudgery and it is brief employment. This way we can collect just the ripe fruit and continue over the life of the crop.
