Scientists are looking at how plants move, to design prostetic hands, plants have no mussels and no brain so they have outside stimuli.
The carnivorous cape sundew plant has tentacles on its leaves and sticky fluid on the tips of the said tentacle, when a bug flies into the sticky fluid the plant curls its leaf to trap the insect, scientists saw that plant increases the pressure in the cells of the plant and that causes the curling, and that can be useful for soft robotics, like prosthetic hands close on a pencil.
