DESCRIPTION
PLANTOID is a Service-Robots from IIT (Italian Institute of Technology). It is built for Exploration, Research, Monitoring.
PLANTOID is IIT's plant-root-inspired robot that combines root-like growth, sensing, and tropism behaviors to explore and adapt in soil-like environments — an early flagship of IIT Bioinspired Soft Robotics.
FEATURES
- Plant-root-inspired soft robot with above-ground shoot and below-ground root modules
- Sensorized root apexes for environmental exploration and tropism-like responses
- Segmented flexible root actuators for soil penetration and morphological adaptation
- Energy-efficient, low-speed, strong-actuation design philosophy taken from plant roots
- Demonstrator platform for collective adaptive behavior and ICT inspired by root systems
