When green thumbs meet robotic arms, you know the future is now.
The seemingly far-fetched concept of plants performing live music is now a reality as Manchester-based musical duo Bionic and the Wires have come up with a novel invention that allows plants to do exactly that. The innovative development will be showcased during a performance at Castlefield Viaduct on April 20, marking a budding frontier in musical exploration.
The inventive device equips plants with bionic robotic arms, allowing them to produce music from a traditional steel drum and even a violin. At the heart of their performance, the duo uses sensors attached to the plant's leaves to detect biosignals generated during photosynthesis. The signals are then converted into electrical inputs that power the robotic limbs, allowing the plant to interact with musical instruments.
The sight of a plant that not only produces music but also does so using sophisticated technology is sure to be memorable. So the next time you pass by a garden, listen carefully: it could be nature's next big thing.
“We have spent many months researching and developing the new bionic robotic arms,” Jon of Bionic and the Wires said in a statement shared with EDM.com. “It's exciting to think that with this invention we may have opened up the opportunity for a whole new genre of music. Maybe it's called bionics!?”
