Can also change the properties of the material by getting the plants to grow through here to stiffen it. and that makes it interesting for architecture. and to. develop sensors for floor robotics. they measure all the data that indicate how a plant is doing and what it needs carbon dioxide nutrients light. one surprising result of the research has been how sensitive plants are. they sense not only physical contact but even the wife in the room. and plants are surprisingly smart if theyre exposed...
