Robotic Plant Emits Oxygen
October 16th, 2008
This may be the most useless robot ever since it is created to dop exactly what a real plant does and you can find real plants…everywhere. But why the hell not. Researchers from Chonnam National University have developed a robotic plant that can produce oxygen, emits aromas, and apparently humidifies.
It beats a real plant in that it can respond to a variety of stimuli. When a person comes within 40cm of the robo-plant it’s stems will lean toward the visitor and its flowers will bloom, which is nice if you are a Disney Princess I guess. The plant will also bloom when you speak to it, and shake to greet you. Pretty damn silly. It even tries it’s hand leaves at photosynthesis, as the buds open and close according to lighting conditions.
