Movements of Plants – A Source of Information for the Mechanisms of Robots

Article Preview

Abstract:

The current paper presents an experimental study of the movements of plants, as well as various conclusions of the research. The main idea is that the general movement of a plant under the action of the wind is a very complex one, and it can be studied within the research for creating mechanical systems based on the same principles.
