in lubec data from the sensors is fed into robots the more precisely the scientists can gauge a plant's needs the more precisely they can control its growth. this swarm of tiny robots learns how much light is needed and looks for places where the plants can get it. eventually they will act as guides for the plants showing them the way other robots will break climbing frames for them. on duncanson and so they could interact with the plants leading them along a particular path with blue light. giving them red light to keep them away from darker place is simple to understand them and us and the researchers have already developed concrete procedures using plant machine interactions but their green architecture remains a distant dream. i think it will take a couple of decades for us to get that far first we have to do the basics that's where we are now. we've done that the next step is to gradually develop a product and that will take some time. as for. women time comes all the plants will need to do is grow. solar and wind energy is sustainable but not always available it needs to be stored

his team in lubec studies and develops symbiotic relationship between robots and plants here red and blue lights are set up to steer plants. the robotic sensing and control elements help produce living architectural structures. we're building. an autonomous system distributed robotic system that can independently change the direction plants grow and. no one had tried this before so we had to do a lot of the basics. to find out what kinds of sensors really work and how bright the ele delight's need to be. the assailant is sign we have to do a lot of technical engineering well to get it up and running. sensors measure distance to a plant its growth if it's supposed to change direction the light source moves. blue light attracts the plant. by dosing the color the robotic elements control the direction in which a climbing plant grows. these braided structures are the basis for more complex architectural forms. the brains are created by robots as lightweight scaffolding on which the plants will later grow and take over. a special grading technique was developed for the project to enable p
