When designing technology like this, it is important to not get stuck thinking about design from a human body part. Why would it need to be like a human hand? Could it be better if it looked like some strange spider like contraption? Think about the job being done, not the job being done currently by a human.

Even more interestingly, you can consider if you can change how you plant if you don't have to plant around the thought that humans are doing the harvesting work.

From the post:

>Fresh, frozen and processed berries are a multi-billion-dollar business in America. In Arkansas alone, fresh-market blackberries contribute $24.3 million each year to the state’s economy. But these delicate blackberries sold in clamshells at supermarkets must be picked by hand, and farm labor has been limited in recent years. A new berry-picking robot gripper developed at the U of A could give growers a high-tech replacement for limited labor availability.

Only Demoncrats want/need slave labor to "do the jobs they don't want to do".

Are you saying that he's a dem in disguise?

I don't know him enough to suggest that. I just know that Dems are the party of slavery among other very unpleasant things (like the alphabet mafia and pedos).

Seasonable jobs like this can easily be filled by young people if paid properly. No need to import labor for it. It is typical to harvest during the times they are not in school anyway. It is good for your immune system and in general to work outside.

He openly admitted he doesn't care if "White" Americans are getting replaced, as long as it's done legally.

He's most certainly a mixed race mongrel posing as White.
