Flour and oats fuel biohybrid reforestation robot.
Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) in collaboration with the University of Freiburg have developed a #biohybridrobot, which consists of a flour-based capsule created using 3D microfabrication techniques, and two natural appendages from oat fruit capable of moving in response to air humidity. Named HybriBot, this new device can accommodate natural seeds from different #plants, serving as a #biodegradable vector for #reforestation.

@george_kariuki I see that as it's most important aspect, that it uses sustainable materials in it's plight to regrow our forests. Sometimes we may use unsustainable tech in chasing sustainability goals which is ironic and I'm glad they got past that hurdle.
