Roland Piquepaille writes "Flower robots are not new and some have already been developed in the U.S. Now, South Korean researchers have created a robotic plant which acts like real ones. This robot has humidifying, oxygen-producing, aroma-emitting, and kinetic functions. It is about 1.30 meter tall and 40 centimeters in diameter. The robotic plant can interact with people when they approach it and can 'dance' when music is played. The researchers don't say when a commercial version of their flowers will come to market. They also don't mention a retail price. But read more for additional details and references to technical papers about these robots."
