Growth and Plant Physics
Growth is shaped by biological processes, but also by physical constraints, mechanical forces, and environmental signals.
01
How do plants grow under constraints?
Plants grow while adapting to space, gravity, light, water availability, and mechanical pressure. These constraints influence their final shape and structure.

02
Can growth be measured mechanically?
Robotic systems and sensors can measure displacement, curvature, force, and changes in shape during growth. This makes it possible to connect plant development with physical behavior.
