Question for hopefully those more in the know: how far away are we from vertical farming becoming mainstream? How long would would you expect autonomous robots like this to be relevant for?

Edit: to clarify I mean automation used in a field, not those that would be used for vertical farming.

Vertical farming will be easier to automate since the system will already know where each plant is and there won't be any role animals or weather mucking up the system.

This may end up being an unintended side effect of work from home adoption: There's the potential that a lot of commercial/office space in or near city centers is going to need to be repurposed at some point.
