The robots picking Britain's strawberries

Are robots ready to take our jobs? Sky News technology correspondent Rowland Manthorpe investigates how automation could reshape the UK workforce, not through a sudden robot takeover, but one task at a time. He meets AGIBOT, one of China's leading robotics companies, as it looks to bring a new generation of humanoid robots to the UK. Rowland then visits Tiptree farm in Essex, where strawberry-picking robots are being tested as a potential answer to the UK's shortage of workers. The report examines what this could mean for workers and why robots may begin transforming our jobs long before they become anything like us.
