This is a fraud! It's simply a spider-like robot decorated with a plant, that does amusing tricks!

I saw no mention of how this contraption taps into whatever passes for the plant's nervous system to determine whether the plant wants to move into the sun or the shade or is thirsty or is happy or sad. If it could actually do that, it might have agricultural uses, although that goal can be achieved more simply with existing technology.

Yeah, and thank you for this.

I thought about it, and then came to the same conclusion AFTER I posted the article.

I was interested in HOW they monitored the plant’s need for shade and sun.

Instead, it is just a robot that performs tricks with a plant sitting on top of it.

DISGUSTING.
