Abstract: It has been 10 years since the publication of the first article looking at plants as a biomechatronic system and as model for robotics. Now, roboticists have started to look at plants differently and consider them as a model in the field of bioinspired robotics. Despite plants have been seen traditionally as passive entities, in reality they are able to grow, move, sense, and communicate. These features make plants an exceptional example of morphological computation-with probably the highest level of adaptabil… Show more

“…With a bioengineering approach, the study of biological models is necessary to identify and extract key features (in morphology, structure, biomechanics) that are relevant to the design and development of artificial systems (Margheri et al, 2012;Tramacere et al, 2013;Laschi and Mazzolai, 2016). The bioengineering approach has been used in plant-inspired robotics for investigating and then artificially translating several plant features (Mazzolai et al, 2020). With this review, authors aimed at the identification of the key parameters available at the state of the art in relation to the morphological computation abilities of self-burying and flying plant seeds which are relevant as insights for the design of artificial soft robotics solutions (Table 1 and 2).…”

“…For example, effective adhesive mechanisms have been drawn from examinations of climbing plants, soft spiral grippers from twinning plants (Yang et al, 2020), and grasping-by-coiling behaviors from plant circumnutation-a term coined by Darwin (1875) that refers to the helical movements created by growing tips and other plant organs. Moreover, robotic growth via root-like filament deposition has taken inspiration from the plant kingdom (Blumenschein et al, 2020;Fiorello et al, 2020;Mazzolai et al, 2020).…”

“…Plants offer a rich source of bioinspiration for soft robotics. Despite progress in selected areas (see Mazzolai et al, 2020, for a mini-review), a gap remains in designing systems based on the fundamental principles of plant intelligence. More "holsitically" plant-inspired robots would inhabit bodies that exhibit a fuller range of plant features, rooted in a decentralized and modular architecture coupled with a highly plastic phenotype (Calvo et al, 2020;Calvo and Trewavas, 2021).…”
