Nature, especially plants, can inspire scientists and engineers in the development of bioinspired machines able to adapt interact with complex unstructured environments. Advances manufacturing techniques, such as 3D printing, have expanded range materials structures that be fabricated, enabling better adaptation specific applications closer mimicking natural systems. Furthermore, biohybrid systems-integrating plant-based or living materials-are getting attention for their ability introduce functionalities not possible purely synthetic materials. This joint feature article reviews highlights recent works two groups microfabrication plant-inspired robotics well plant-hybrid systems energy conversion soft environmental sensing, reforestation, autonomous drug-delivery plant tissue.
