Every day brings news of some new ag robot, designed to increase efficiency and lighten the farmer’s load. Just in the past few months, we’ve done stories on the Lettuce Bot (aka Roomba for weeds), drones that herd cattle and spray pesticides, and a self-driving tractor. Some worry — as with many professions — that farm machines will replace humans altogether. Others are happy to embrace automation, especially when it helps boost income and reduce stress. But whether you love robots, fear them, or just can’t look away, they are upending agriculture as we know it. Here are five compelling farm bots, in varying stages of completion.

1) Wine Bot

A French inventor named Christophe Millot has created a self-propelled robot for pruning vines, removing young shoots, and monitoring soil and vine health. Millot named his bot Wall-Ye, putting it one step ahead of its American cousin, the clunky-sounding Intelligent Robotic Vineyard Pruner. Wall-Ye is kitted out with a tight security system — it will only start within pre-designated vineyards, and the hard drive self-destructs in dangerous situations. Millot told the Agence France-Presse his robot would likely displace vineyard workers, but would create jobs “for someone who has gone to school and who will build, maintain and improve the robots.” Wall-Ye will cost roughly $32,000.
