Attempt on Plant Machine Interface Towards Self-monitoring Plant Systems

چکیده
In this paper, we investigate possible means of communication between plants and machines. Plants are capable of sensing various environmental information. In particular, Avocado trees have an apparent response to increasing draught level. We read out two different communication channels: morphological changes (leaf inclination) and electric potential of the stem (biopotential) by using distance sensors and biopotential electrodes, respectively. Our experimental results show that leaf inclination is a reliable candidate to automatically trigger on irrigation, whereas the biopotential can be used to automatically stop the irrigation. Hence, through systematic experiments we demontrate that morphological changes and biopotentials provide suitable control signals for interfacing plants with machines, and open a possibility to exploit abilities of plants in robotic systems.
