Functions of the Robot - Designing for how things work :
-
Data
-
Humidity
-
Temperature
-
Light %
-
Presence of Water
-
Geography of the region
-
Air quality
-
Detection of toxins
-
-
Climate
-
Microbial environment
-
-
Communication with Microbes
-
Take in info from microbes
-
Communication would be the actions needed to be done by the robot
-
-
Housing to incubate
-
Ability to walk/ move
-
Time
-
Provide an incubation space that allows for ideal (ideal situations, light, humidity, etc, no predators) initial growth
-
No chemical/human intervention in the growth process
-
Process of growing/spreading of plants is increased because the robots can house many plant incubators and can travel around to place plants.
-
Stories of the Robot:
-
Story of succession - (Existing stories of succession: Old mining areas, now overgrown with plants )
-
Metropolitan Cities (Prettier and detailed) - LATER AFTER DETAILED DRAWINGS
-
Ghost towns
-
Nuclear power plant areas/ explosions
-
Superfund sites
-
-
Metropolitan Cities:
-
Housing / Infrastructure - water tanks ( a plant that can hold water )
-
Street Lamps
-
Cars/subways (Maybe there is a plant out there that can move very fast)
-
Wireless Networking system : like wifi, channeling system for messages
-
Wired networking system : ex: underground wires
-
Sewage systems, water line systems, gas line systems (underground)
-
Material replacements : glass, metal
-
Bridges/walkways/sidewalks
-
Personal items? : Lights, phones, backpacks
-
Prototyping Sketches
