It’s not being touted as such, but robots such as this European creation could help the US in a number of important ways:

1. Keeping the ag sector healthy
2. Eliminating the need and excuses for illegal alien farm labor

This robot picks a pepper in 24 seconds using a tiny saw, and could help combat a shortage of farm labor

There are lots of good reasons to be nervous about robots and computers taking jobs. But taking jobs currently done by illegal aliens? This can only be a good thing.
