New Potential concept
​Symbiotic relationship between robots and plants to create a communication device between plants and humans. The robots as the interface in the environment are able to receive, store transfer the data, and will also process the plant’s information, feelings, thoughts, etc. and translate to human’s consciousness. And this process might be a speculative idea that there will be a communicative channel developed inside the plants along with their xylem and phloem channels for nutrition.
