LED-based technology in horticulture The effects of LED emission on biological organisms are well known. Current literature indicates a response of cellular metabolism to different emission spectra, especially infrared, combinations of red and blue, blue and green, and other spectra of LED emission. Research has been conducted on the effects of LED light on animal […]
BIOHYBRIDS: Biohybrid phytosensing system for plant-technology interactions in mixed-reality and smart-home systems CORDIS information Objective This innovation is related to an embedded electronic system connected to plants and trees – so-called phytosensor — which measures their physiological parameters as well as different environmental values. Measured data are processed in the local device based on stored
Power management for vertical farms Power management for vertical farms can be used to control different agricultural actuators such as phytolight, irrigation or fertilization with fixed-protocol growth (based on periodical timers) and feedback-based protocols (based on sensor data). Water-/air-preparation, e.g. pH control, adding fertilizers, ozonation/AOP (advanced oxidation process), aeration/OMB (O2 microbubbles), magnetic treatment and other
Phytosensing and phytoactuating system The phytosensor measures physiological and electrophysiological parameters of plants (productive and domestic plants, herbs, shrubs, trees). In addition to phytosensing, the device can perform phytoactuation, i.e. control light, irrigation or fertilization. The combination of phytosensing and phytoactuation allows not only to monitor the physiological state of plants in real time, but
FloraRobotica: Societies of Symbiotic Robot-Plant Bio-Hybrids as Social Architectural Artifacts information from the official web site floraRobotica CONDIS information The project’s objective is to develop and investigate closely linked symbiotic relationships between robots and natural plants and to explore the potentials of a plant-robot society able to produce architectural artifacts and living spaces. flora robotica responds to the work-programme theme ‘Knowing,
WatchPlant: SMART BIOHYBRID PHYTO-ORGANISMS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IN SITU MONITORING Description Project homepage: https://watchplantproject.eu/ CORDIS description Wireless wearable devices can track our every move and monitor our health. This technology can also be used on plants for the benefit of urban policies, the agri-food industry and forestry. The EU-funded WATCHPLANT project will develop a wireless, wearable,
