This is a short clip demonstrating the behavior of one of my biomimetic robotic plant sculptures. This is a circuit that soaks up solar energy during the day, storing it in battery "tubers", and puts on a light show at night. It's in the shape of a tree with two beetles chewing the roots. Just as every part of a living tree has a biological function, every part of my robot tree has an electrical function. Apologies for the poor video quality, cheap camera isn't that great in a dark room.
You can find out more about it at my site, craftybot.net

  • Very cool, good job! I just made my first Pummer "Pummer Flower". Comment on my video if you get a chance. Thanks.

  • Wow, this is probably the most artistic Pummer I've ever seen, Nice Work!

  • really cool bro. I want to make a simple one to start with. But this is killer.
