We should be implementing robots like this wherever we can imo. We shouldn't be holding ourselves back with jobs like turning a sign 180 degrees at construction sites, and repetitive mechanical motion like this. We are past that, and we SHOULD be able to use those benefits to lift the lower parts of society up.
But no, muh moneys.

If you think about it Orks are basically just really mean piles of lettuce

$11/hour for what they're doing on that thing isn't half bad to be honest. I expected absolute minimum wage

9.00/hr is the state minimum here. For immigrant farmers though that will be operating the machinery and the factory, the three dollar difference and the convenience of the new machinery would be a great blessing.
Not exactly a robot I don't think. Just a glorified picking station.
I think they have these for harvesting pretty much anything.
Problem is getting people to invest in them, the thing in the video is worth at least $300,000 to $500,000

Ok; it's a machinery.Quite possibly has an operating sistem of sorts wich can control different parts of the harvester, so either definition is suitable.

How exactly are you helping them by displacing them out of the workforce?

It's a robot. "a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically"

Yeah, perhaps you're right. I just had it in my head that robots have to be completely autonomous where's this one still needs a human assistance and people working on the conveyor.

It's quite a complex issue you brought up here which has been thoroughly discussed and one that we will have to face in the near future. Essentially the question is, when the robots take over jobs, what is left for humans to do, especially low skilled people.
Using a high-pressure waterbeam is really clever.
