  5. I think that we should use Apple Picking Robots. They pick apples faster and will make more money in the long run then us picking the apples. As long as the technology runs smooth, I think this is a good invention.

  6. Picking Apples has been a manual labor since the beginning, but engineers at Abundant Robotics have found a way to change the traditional farming methods. U.S. apple farms produce 9 billion pounds of apples that are usually all manually picked. These engineers have created robots that are designed to recognize apples on trees and pick them without causing harm to the tree or fruit itself. This method can create a more efficient way to farm apples and expand the horizons of agricultural robotics.

  8. I think apple picking robots could be a good thing. If it cuts down the time needed to harvest them, it could mean that the farmer could grow more apples and make more money. It will also be easier for the farmer to use the robot.

  9. The robots are very useful because they pick apples fast. The farmers could produce more apples if they were to have multiple robot things. I think its a good invention overall.

  12. I feel like we shouldn't use Apple Picking Robots. They are a lot faster than hand picking and will save more money. The one thing is that they might mess up and pick bruised ones or even bruise them itself.

  14. I think that we should not use the Apple Robots since they can damage the apples. They will probably cost a lot of money. The technology also might brake and waste time.

  16. I THINK THAT THE PEOPLE THAT WORKS OF THIS COMPANY IS ALL ABOUT DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY.I think that the company wants to explain how the job is handle and worked. Its alot of team work and effort in this field of picking apples and not hurting them.

  17. I think that it's a great idea but we are relying to much on robots. They are saying how the robot has to be perfect and it can't damage and cut the apple, or it loses value. Robots are taking over to much.

  18. I think that apple picking robots would be a good thing. The robots would save time and and allow families to spend more time with each other. Overall I think this is a good idea

  19. These Apple picking robots are a great addition to the apple picking industry. They are quick enough, yet gentle enough to not bruise or cut the apple as they pick one each second. Now farmers don't have to worry so much about having to be gentle or worrying that the apples are bruised or anything because the robots have done it for them.

  21. The article had a good description of what it was trying to do. The article also seems to show it made some progress with this invention. This is my opinion on it.

  22. I believe the robots are useful because they pick apples faster than humans. But humans would be fired from there job. While they are trying to provide to there family.

  23. I think that this is a good form of picking apples. It will be much easier for robots to pick apples than regular humans. This invention will go just fine if nothing goes wrong with the robots.

  24. I believe that if we had robots to pick the apples, the US would have an increase in the amount of apples we are able to sell and export. The robot would make it easier to pick the apple without cutting or bruising the apple. The production of apples would be faster and more reliable for a larger order to export.

  25. Apple picking Apples is a good invention I think. It is a faster way of picking apples and it will be a better idea. They should use this way instead it is better and faster.

  26. Using robots to pick apples has an advantage but at the same time a disadvantage.Picking them manually takes more time than it will with a robot.But then the robots can damage the fruit and ruin its value

  31. Of all the things robots have been programmed to do, apple picking might be one of the best. Robots are now being able to spot and pick apples without any damage. It shows how modern technology can be used for our everyday needs.

  32. Well I think that it's a really big help for people to have robots to help pick the apples. The world is becoming more dependent on technology so it's only right we use it for more things. Plus the robots pick apples faster so it would be easy.

  34. I do not agree with having machines do all the labor. I think people should do it themselves and stop depending on robots to do a simple task like apple picking. I disagree with the article and I think that we should just keep it the same.

  35. The apple picking robots will bring production of apples higher than before. It will also cut jobs which is the bad part about this idea. If the company then makes orange picking robots then it will make people lose jobs and those people will not have money. In my opinion this idea just wants to boost production of apples.

  36. I think his robotics will help out. though many jobs will be lost by making robots do human jobs. other than that this should be a useful way to pick apples

  37. I think the new fit bits are great, because some are now waterproof, you can change the band to a different style with no hassle, and it has relaxation mode to help calm you down. The old fit bits don't have that but these do! They keep track of your breathing, heartbeat, pulse, and how fit you are. Now that is truly amazing. It even puts all of that information in a little workout journal, so now you can keep track of your health better.

  38. I think the new Iphone 7 will is a great step forward in technology because the camera is better and you can now take better pictures inn low light also as if you had an actual camera with you. Also instead of a place to put in our earbuds, its replaced with an extra speaker, or we can have bluetooth headphones.

  39. I think that the smart iron is a waste of time and money because its just like a regular ironing board but with better qualities built in. It doesn't help you iron faster or irons it instantly for you. So whats the real point of buying the smart iron if you can just use your old ironing board for a cheaper price than having to spend hundreds of dollars on a smart iron.

  40. I think that Instagram stories is a great addition because we can now share videos, photo's and funny pictures with our friends. You can have a lot of fun creating them and drawing on your pictures to make it funny. Or even add an meme on it. Now anyone who doesn't have Snapchat can now experience without having to download it now.

  41. In my opinion I think the new wireless earbuds made from beats is an amazing new addition. Now you don't have to worry about your cord getting all tangled up, also you can order wing tips to attach to your earbuds if your doing something athletic.
