Rise of the ‘robo-plants’, as scientists fuse nature with tech – Phys.Org

The technology is in its early stages, but researchers believe it could eventually be used to build advanced “plant-based robots” that can pick up a host of fragile objects which are too delicate for rigid, robotic arms.”These kinds of nature robots can be interfaced with other artificial robots (to make) hybrid systems,” Chen Xiaodong, the lead author of a study on the research at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), told AFP.
There are still challenges to be overcome. Scientists can stimulate…
