Are robot fruit pickers about to take over the fruit picking industry?🤖
Desmond Layne, the Department Head and Professor at Auburn University Horticulture, where he draws from more than 30 years of experience to inform his role as a research administrator, weighs in on the matter.

According to Desmond, robots may replace humans as fruit pickers… 🍎

But there are definitely some TRADEOFFS to this, he says.
Robot fruit pickers, for one, are not cheap and may be slower than human fruit pickers. 💸

However, some fruit picking robots may also do the job of 10 human fruit pickers.

Would you rather have robots picking your fruit or still prefer human fruit pickers?
