A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

A network of sensor spikes providing real-time temperature, light, and moisture data, all connected wirelessly, could provide an in-depth map of microclimates for use in planting any site. By planting only crop guilds suitable to specific microclimactic conditions, crop health can be optimised, and losses decreased.
Shock-deterrent collars, or hopefully something sound and smell-based as an ethical deterrent tuned to natural animal cues, with changeable boundaries controlled wirelessly and using GPS references could enable mob-grazing on whatever scale, and allow ranchers to move their herds to fresh grazing multiple times a day, mapped over time and able to be monitored over a smartphone.

I'm not seeing any robots in that scenario.

Anderson gave himself the promotion. So I gave myself this tiny ad:
