From LincolnshireLive, June 28:

How robots are keeping strawberries growing year-round at James Dyson's Lincolnshire farm 
The advanced robots select and pick the ripest fruit and ward off any insect predators

Dyson's 26-acre Lincolnshire glasshouse has produced more than 1,250 tonnes of high-quality British strawberries and is now growing the fruit all year round.

The glasshouse is full of advanced robots which select and pick the ripest fruit through vision sensing, physical manipulation and robotic secateurs. There are other robots on the site which glide on the rails next to the plants and shine UV light on them at night to prevent mould growth.

Another back-and-forth with Hong Kong is income/wealth. HK has more billionaires but Singapore has a higher average income.
And then there are the Gurkhas. More after the jump.....

But then he pulled the plug, so to speak, on the car project and now this, from Malaysia's The Star...
