Creating a machine that can perform the delicate work of picking an apple is tricky \u2013 and farmworkers say it could be a benefit<\/p>\n

Robots can do a lot. They build cars in factories. They sort goods in Amazon warehouses. Robotic dogs can, allegedly and a little creepily, make us safer by patrolling<\/a> our streets. But there are some things robots still cannot do \u2013 things that sound quite basic in comparison. Like picking an apple from a tree.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a simple thing\u201d for humans, says robotics researcher Joe Davidson. \u201cYou and I, we could close our eyes, reach into the tree.
