Reading the comments in this thread reminded me of "Silent Running" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Running). Droids (albeit 70s-style), agro-tech, and post-apocalyptic sci-fi. It's dated but enjoyable.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that.

Of course, that movie does have certain other implications and side effects....
