Winding

Hanging on the walls of the studio were photographs of plant brains. Their convolutions traced winding paths that were both similar to those of human brains and, yet, strangely different.

Moss

"Moss provides very high sensitivity,' she explained. 'That's why I put it on the inside of my robots' hands, from the palms to the fingertips, as well as under their feet, to improve their balance.'

Hiking

'Our designer often goes hiking,' commented Cedar 23, 'and sometimes even, she does not comes back until the next morning. But she always brings back rare or unusual plants, flowers, or barks, which she then studies for several days.'

Branch

'One day,' Cedar 23 went on, 'she brought back a branh which she potted. If you placed your hand close to the pot, the branch would flex slowly and move to meet it. No, we do not know how or why it dit ; only she knows.'

Grow

'Our designer eventually found out how to get this branch to grow,' Cedar 23 went on, 'and graft it. Soon enough she made it into a network. The humanoid shape, of course, was the most familiar to her, and came to her automatically.'
