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 […]
Biosensor based on fermentation activity of microorganisms Activity of microorganisms depends on several factors, among them — the quality of water, various emissions, strains of microorganisms, deviations in metabolic processes, etc. Favorable conditions stimulate activities, whereas pathogenic conditions inhibit them. A significant advantage of microorganisms as a biosensor is a high sensitivity, detection of nonspecific
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,
