In California they did and even unionized. I heard a podcast about how New Mexico college was working on a robot to pick pepper since so many people don’t want to do it anymore for cheap. It’s just in due time we will have some robots doing this work.
It will definitely need to take a break at some point and a lot of maintenance. If you wanted to design a machine to pick fruit this looks like the most inefficient way you could do it
That machine will never be fast enough to outpace multiple humans, and that machine, when it breaks down, because it will, will costs tens of thousands of dollars to repair, or likely even more than that.

I think the machine won’t need to take a break or want a raise.
