Once robotics and computer vision gets there, there could be a lot of money in robotized regenerative agriculture.

How is this wishlist related to anything that is being talked about in this thread? I'm very confused by what you're adding to the conversation.

I also wish robots would do the menial labor that I do not enjoy and would take care of all of my basic needs.

But this is an article about basic computer vision beginning to impact basic manufacturing. What you're talking about is decades in the future if ever. I'm very confused.

Edit: The OP originally talked about an agricultural robot that could charge itself, do all the home chores, and fix things around the house. Now it's just one sentence.

A general-purpose robotic handyman for consumers is many many decades away (at least). And if such a thing did exist it would have massive massive implications for the labor market--both on its own and because of the implications for all the other things that AI could do were such a robot possible.

Computer vision in a very constrained environment is much much different and often isn't even suitable for many "simple" tasks that aren't constrained quite enough.

What if there was some sort of LLM like breakthrough? I could see someone doing a technique where they track all movements of a person going throug their day with a fine grained bodysuit. They could then use that as tokens for generative input that could give a humanoid robot intuition about how to move around and perform tasks that would match an LLM's ability to respond to arbitrary questions.
