Can't imagine how could you make harvester this small. I think more helpful would be precision monitoring of fields with drones and then maybe even taking care of small weeds. For every other process, you need big machinery anyway.

Would be more productive to force big manufactures to open-sourcing their stuff.

Given that current manufacturers' agtech tends to be incredibly locked down devices, just about anything starting as open source seems to be a much better use of time than trying to force John Deere, et al to open source their devices.

My general philosophy is that if a human can do it then a robot the size of a car can do it. The nice thing about autonomy is that if it is slow or requires frequent drop off trips this doesn’t really affect anyone. As far as forcing manufacturers to open source stuff, I guess I’m all for it but intention matters here. Our system is designed specifically so anyone can fabricate them. It’s designed to be easy to make in a small shop. You’re not going to get that same intention by forcing someone to open source their design.
