Vine-trimming robot
Automation has increasingly found its way into the agricultural world, but has yet to make significant inroads in the fields of viticulture. Recently, French designers are looking to change that with a little robot that replaces manual laborers who manage grape vines. This cute little robot will set you back around €20,000, but its makers hope that there is still a market for it -- especially with improvements in speed and functionality.
