Don’t mind, If your plant goes out for a little walk

Hexa, developed by the Beijing-based Vincross, is a six-legged bot with 19 servos, infrared and 720p cameras, a customizable Linux-based OS, and big ambitions—the company's home page imagines a Hexa on Mars. The new robot mod, developed by Vincross roboticist Sun Tianqi, is "an installation project of a walking succulent plant," Tianqi said  last year in the Hexa forums.

A few years ago, Vincross CEO Tianqi Sun encountered a problem “The original idea of the project came from a dead sunflower. In 2014, I went to see a sunflower exhibition, and found myself focused on a dead sunflower near a ground of blooms. The dead flower sat in a place that was always in a shadow. I had no idea how it ended up there or why it died–whether it was because of the lack of sunshine or water –but it was just there, and it was dead. I thought, if it could move a little bit, take a 30-feet walk out of the shadow to where the other sunflowers were, it could have been saved.”

The project in question is a robot that houses a plant on its head, and makes sure the plant gets all the light it needs to live by walking out of shade and into the glorious, photosynthesis-enabling sunlight.

Plants certainly can’t move on their own , but this little guy can help, moving towards the sun when needed and returning to the shade when it gets too hot and has had enough. It can also interact with people, dance when it’s happy, show attitude when it’s thirsty, and otherwise be a little fireball of personality. If you’re somehow having a hard time keeping your (extremely low-maintenance) succulents alive, this might be the adorable answer for you!

Isn’t interesting !!
