Plants mastered the art of harvesting sunlight billions of years ago, using elegant rings of pigments in their leaves. Now, ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a novel microsystem for investigating mechanisms of plant-root growth. To measure a generative force by plant-root growth efficiently, we developed a silicon-based ...

We conducted treatments of selective exposure of flowers to pollinators to evaluate the efficacy of the different functional groups of pollinators on the female reproductive success (fruit set). As ...

A kinodynamic task-constrained and control-aware global motion planner is used. Experiments show that the proposed aerial manipulator system, equipped with an Eddy current probe, is able to scan a ...
