New #DIS2024 paper: "Designing Plant Driven Actuators". In it, we (Yuhan, @xjasminelu , @hoffman et al) challenge designers to reimagine what #HRI #robots could be like, embracing characteristics from plants (slowness, spontaneity, and even decay) and exploring their translation to #robotic actuation or even #haptics
