Grow-Bot

The project explores the possible evolution of machine morphology in which the line between biology and technology will begin to blur. Artistic research was conducted to create an encyclopedic collection of possible robot body evolutions. Bulks of images were designed by collaborating with an AI model to generate images of robots from datasets. Experiments with fruit were performed to investigate the possibility of using alternative/ degradable materials for a physical robot body. Plant matter was used as a sensor and to observe probable growth or merging of artificial and natural.
