According to a Wikipedia entry, there are roughly five sectors in the industry [1]. In this article, I will parameter-sweep the industry sectors and subsectors and provide the solutions for the in-crisis America along with the technology and algorithms to make sure that the future is filled with communication and collaboration at different levels of social togetherness while maintaining efficiency and throughput for each market niche to provide stability and robustness under threat by a VMD or viruses of mass destruction.

Primary Sector (Part IA: Agriculture)

Field robotics will be very important to all these areas: precision agriculture, pollution monitoring, livestock ranching, weed control, nursery automation, crop harvesting, fruit harvesting, and planting and seeding. However, the cost versus value on field robotics will be highly suspicious for automation since the price of manual labor will be very cheap in the West and South coast due to the influx of illegal aliens. While this crisis is in session, running a bunch of simulations using theoretical and scalable agri-robot algorithms will make it a much better transition to a human-free agriculture automation. However, if there aren’t any humans to supervise the robots manufactured and repaired using three-dimensional printing and scanning, they will be sparse and employ tested and sealed uniforms to ensure that the VMD doesn’t spread. Automation at the large-scale markets like enterprise makes sense for now but for very small scale jobs, humans are needed to provide the primary services for a personal or community garden instead of relying on the supermarket seasons and availability. For pollution monitoring, one might believe that America needs to go underground and only use pure Oxygen tanks for astronaut suits that conceal their oxygen supply when not working in a tight social arena. Thus, without the air of the atmosphere and heating all the air to extreme temperatures to eradicate all viruses in addition to using the topsoil of the lands to farm and yield livestock. A demarcation between living underground quarters and the planting overground quarters will provide a defense against Tornados, Hurricanes but not Earthquakes. By using the architectural creativity of underground subways underneath the seas for fiber optic cabling and transportation from San Francisco peninsula and neighboring areas, we can have underwater worlds of science fiction as advertised by the $1 billion film flop WaterWorld. In order to eradicate weeds and other pesky aberrations from the norm, robo-agriculture might try spending more on R&D for Non-GMO or organic scaling of farm land where algorithms like travelers salesman problem (TSP) will be useful to deliver raw farm materials underground using chutes and wells. The end of the R&D for autonomous underwater, ground, and aerial robotics with a 100% workable centi-GPS solution would provide no-human assistance along with the scalability of masks for large-scale unibody, multiple-material 3D printing. Robo-cronstruction using the three types of robots will allow a Jimmy Carter-less automated Habitats for Humanity for farmers to build large-scale overground crop, greenhouses, and manufacturing plants to process, package, and ship these raw materials to a middleman or supplier.
