Blogging from bed with a purring contented cat and fiancee next to me. Thinking about how great it will be to be able to design a garden and the have robots keep it up for you. The could render the trimmings for epoxy and carbon nano things, that they could then use to build the ponds, bridges, buildings and statues of your japanese or chinese or english style or whatever crazy type of mashups we come up with in the future.
I suppose it might even be possible to have the robots excavate cavities they could then laminate & support with aforementioned garden-born carbon products. The purpose, of course, would be to captue and store rainwater for the water-poor seasons of the year.
And of course we will have robots capable of growing vegetable gardens, too. I keep running over the problems of robotic gardening in my head. I dunno why, it’s not anywhere near my chosen career path. I guess it’s just one of those things that likes to go on in my mind’s theatre of operations.
