Himawari

Himawari is an originally created robotic plant, influenced by the sunflowers motion pattern, that reacts to human movements. The stalk is driven by servo motors, the inside flower is made of LEDs and the flower tentacles and petals use shape-memory alloy actuators to wriggle quietly. Himawari moves slowly and with slender motions, reacting to human presence, to face them and communicate.
