Vision Robotics of San Diego is working on prototype fruit-picking robots that could displace thousands of migrant farm workers.
Pictured is an artist's rendering from their web page of a two-robot floor cleaning system that would mop and vacuum floors. (Don't get too excited, it appears to be dated 1999). The company also says on its web page that it received a 2007 grant to develop a vision-based navigation attachment module for small bomb defusing robots (iRobot's PackBot?) that will allow them to navigate on their own.
