Why? One tool for one job. I let my gardener robot keep gardening while my grocery shopping robot goes to the store.

A gardener robot should be able to:

- plant new plants (hold plant in pot, remove plant from pot, shake excess soil, dig hole using trowel, place plant in hole, pat down earth, water plant using watering can)

- dig up weeds (using e.g. a hoe, fingers)

- set up a trellis (attach trellis to wall using drilled-in screws; wrap vines around trellis)

- water plants with hose (unwrap hose, turn on tap, spray plants)

etc.

What form factor will beat humans at all these tasks?
