Plantbot Shows You The Light

Have a plant that requires full sun, but the window only gets 3 hours of it? Problem solved with the Plantbot. An innovating use of robot technology being applied to real world problems (well, inconvenience might be a better word). The four legged, spider like plant holder slowly migrates in the direction of sun. Keeping the plant in full light for as long as possible. Though it’s unclear how this is powered, I would hope solar is used to charge its mobile self? Note: pets might freak out with such a device moving around on it own. Not to mention alarm systems. The robot age is coming folks… deal with it!

Really amazing, with the right temperture and light sensors, it would be realizable.
Intersting is that the robot is powered by solar energy.
where can we find such a robot.
