The future of farming is swarms of compact robots, not a Wall-E

Wrapping up his agricultural robotics thread, Lukas Ziegler argues the future of farming won't look like Wall-E — it will look like swarms of compact robots working soil gently, responding in real time, and learning from each harvest.
The post mostly serves as a pitch for his robotics newsletter "we all are robots" (21,000+ subscribers), aimed at robotics leaders from Google, Tesla, Boston Dynamics and beyond. Limited new information beyond the viewpoint itself.
