Plant roots are thus the most efficient systems known for underground exploration.
因此植物的根可说是地下勘探中最有效率的系统。
But not, perhaps, for much longer.
但或许这个名头保持不了多久了。
Researchers working on the Plantoid project, led by Barbara Mazzolai of the Italian Instituteof Technology, in Pontedera,
参与植物机器人计划的研究人员想要开发出至少与真正的根不相上下的机器根,
hope to develop robot plant roots that will be as good as the real things, if not better.
该计划的负责人是意大利理工学院的芭芭拉玛佐莱。
In doing so, they seek to understand how real roots work and also to devise machines thatmight monitor soil pollution, prospect for minerals and look for water.
在开发过程中,研究人员不仅要设法了解真正的根是如何工作的,还力图设计处可以监测土壤污染,勘探矿物及寻找水源的设备。
The plantoid, of which Dr Mazzolai plans to demonstrate a partial prototype on July 29that a conference at the Natural History Museum in London, will have a central stemcontaining a reservoir of liquid plastic of a sort that can be frozen by ultraviolet light.
玛佐莱博士计划在7月29日于伦敦自然历史博物馆召开的会议上演示植物机器人非完全体原型,该机器人有一条主干,里面有一个装有液态塑料的储液囊,这种液态塑料受到紫外线照射时将会凝固。
