if shoveling dirt and then moving it is a two man job.
why not have two men shoveling and one drone moving the
dirt.
the men 'teach' the drone how to move the dirt initially,
and then it repeats the process without further guidance.
the drone could be programmed also to listen to commands
like "go" to know respond to the shovels being finished
loading a full load of the dirt in the barrow.
a more sophisticated drone can even analyze the size of
the dirt pile it has created and make decisions on its own ,
or ask for guidance, as to where and how to dump more
piles, if the existing pile gets too big.

Moving dirt would be a natural for a drone. |

Hiring lots of people, covering them in treacle, getting them to roll around on the appropriate part of the ground, then going to a shower somewhere else... |

If the device ceases to be one-wheeled and held by a
human, it ceases to be a wheelbarrow. |
|
| |
This is just a robotic cart. |
|
| |
it can be a one wheeled gyroscopically balanced
programable drone, THAT REMEBERS WHERE YOU
WHEELBARROWED IT. |
|
| |
it looks and can be used exactly like a wheelbarrow
when the computer is off, it's just a bit heavier for
the black box with computer battery and
motors/gyros) |

The mining industry has almost baked this - but bigger, and with four wheels... big wheels.. no, bigger than that... |
|
| |
For some reason, they didn't see the beauty of gyroscopically stabilizing their 100-tonne payloads. |
|
| |
Of course, if they did, then a fleet of unmanned trucks gyroscopically stabilized on one central wheel would allow much narrower haulage roads in big open-cut pits, because almost half the load could just hang out over the void. This, in turn would make a big difference to the amount of over-burden they'd have to blast and haul away in the deeper open pits. |

Hey, [Custardguts], come over here a minute... |

So my comment / question was deleted without a response. That's your policy? As you wish - I'll not spend any more time in your ideas. |

caps? Is that a rule? eh? |

You're excused, [po], on the grounds of something
or other. Grudgingly. We just don't want to
encourage the new girl to follow your example. |

Famous Israeli story: The rich american Jew comes
to
visit Israel and see what's doing with the forest he
donated to the JNF. |
|
| |
He sees two workers. One digging out a hole, the
other shoveling the dirt back in. |
|
| |
He asks what they're doing. We're planting trees,
they
say. We are a three man team. The guy that plants
the
tree is off today on sick leave. |
