I think that humanoid robots of a high sophistication are going to take some time to perfect, (But be well worth the trouble).
But here we have really the example of robot devices of other kinds, doing the work that is very unpleasant, and also reducing the dangers of agricultural practices. And I expect that these machines will get better and better at quality results.
I would expect that what can come next is robotics for Agri solar farms.
Really a pleasing set of results.

I think that large portions of marginal land might be made into agrivoltaic with short fruit trees, and such harvesters could harvest fruit from them. Of course, bears and perhaps some other animals might damage the solar panels and trees to get the fruit, so that might be a problem.

Re: Humanoid and other robots.
So, I have a video about a farm machine: https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/r … &FORM=VIRE Quote:

This sort of thing will likely be good for the soil long term, and I expect will lower the price of food.

Re: Humanoid and other robots.
I might be more able to get to sleep properly tonight if I dispose of an idea here, concerning robot hands and apace suits.
Various robotic hands are being developed. Granted, in many situations you might want a robot itself to do work either by it's own wits, or by telepresence.
But I am wondering if instead of a space suit having gloves, it might have a method to attach various hands to an extended arm assembly.
As I understand it, it is struggled to use hands in pressurized gloves.
Elon Musk has described how, the Optimus hand is being developed to have precision with power.
On the other hand less humanoid forms of hands are being developed.
For one or two of a space suit a fixture might allow various kinds of robot hands to be attached to the end of a space suit arm. This "Sleeve" attached to could host a real human hand with finger manipulators to operate the robot hand.
What it might do is offer the value of a real human with a see through face plate on a suit helmet to be able to do work that a gloved hand with pressurization inside makes inconvenient or impossible. Fine work.
Perhaps this might help: 
The hand is inside of a compartment #3 where finger and thumb controls can feed into the control of an attached robot hand.
I do not favor work with space suits. It would be better to have robots alone do it, but I expect that on some occasions, a human hand/eye co-ordination might be desired, and I expect that if Tesla can design robot hands with fine work capabilities, it may be worth the trouble in some cases.
Anyway, not I will not fixate on the idea now that I have outputted it.
