VOICED : Combinar tecnología y naturaleza para crear "robots-plantas"

The video discusses the remote manipulation of carnivorous plants using electrodes developed by scientists in Singapore. These electrodes detect natural electrical signals emitted by plants, allowing researchers to control plant movements via smartphones. This technology has potential applications in creating hybrid plant-robot systems for handling delicate objects. Challenges in sensor installation on plants are addressed with flexible electrodes and hydrogels, improving signal detection. The system could also help farmers detect plant diseases early, enhancing agricultural practices.
