> To apply robotic berry pickers you normally need to produce in a large scale (many tons of berries).

Farmers could rent the machine. So the machine can travel instead of the berries.

Also, robotics is in many industries not competitive against cheap labor from low-wage countries. However, for agriculture that might be different, precisely because of distribution costs (e.g., it's expensive to ship fruits and vegetables from China).
