I think this would free migrant farm labor from having the burden of income, freeing them to be wondering poets. Reminds me a recycling sorting robot, which in my country is done by the mentally disabled. Just the kind of person you want to take a job away from.

I agree. Innovation and technological advances cause more harm than good. Break the threshing machines! Break them all!!
I'm wondering what is so difficult about this task. I mean, all the "good" fruit looks almost the same, so recognizing it should be simple. Also, there's plenty of training material.
Well, conceptually it sounds simple. But it is certainly a complex engineering problem. You are forgetting building conforming actuators and sensors, controlling these, image registration, the low margin for error, classification performance, real-time processing, etc. etc.
Applying the principle of capitalism, if it was simple to design and if a market and technology enables it, then it should already exist. In this case, the market obviously exists (e.g. farm worker demand in fruit industry), so if the solution doesn't already exist, then it is highly likely to be because the problem isn't simple to solve and/or the technology is inadequate.

The industrialization of agriculture has made clear inroads on the problem of world hunger and has markedly increased the quality of food from the time when all farming was manual labor.

Sarcasm isn't your strong suit, is it?
So it can compare apples and oranges. Thanks I'm done

Actually, it might not be yours; neither of those statements are true. Investigate how much the U.S. government spends on farming subsidies per year and then consider the fact that nutritious food which isn't loaded with pesticides, hormones, radiation, etc is currently considered a luxury good.
