Robotany : autonomous vehicles that care for houseplants
Robotany is a system of autonomous robots that act on behalf of houseplants that rest on top of their chassis. Their duty is to do what plants would if they had the gift of mobility - namely to seek out sunlight or water when there are insufficient amounts of either at their current location. …
