Answer to Question 1

Unlike labor and capital, land is in strictly fixed supply. Therefore, its supply is perfectly inelastic.

Answer to Question 2

The robots appear to be a substitute for labor. And in fact they very well may just that. However, they are also a complement to labor. Now workers in the pharmacy have more free time to use performing other tasks. This may actually increase their productivity to the pharmacy and make them more valuable to the employer.
