Just wondering: Do the people in robotics realize that the real money is in getting machines to pick cabbages and the like? These sorts of inventions (like any others) really need to replace labor to be economic.

Picking cabbages is a pretty hard problem. I'm pretty sure they realize the economic potential, but Dexter took his first baby steps not too long ago.
