Wind and Plant Physics
Wind is one of the major mechanical forces acting on plants. It influences movement, stability, growth, and long-term morphology.
01
How do plants react to wind?
Plants bend, vibrate, twist, and sometimes reorient their growth when exposed to wind. These movements are physical responses to external forces, but they can also influence biological development over time.

Why use robots to study wind effects?
Robots can apply controlled mechanical stimulation to plants. This helps researchers reproduce wind-like effects with precision and compare plant responses under stable experimental conditions.
