The researchers expect their prototypical robotic roots to be able to penetrate up to a metreof real soil.
研究人员希望自己的机器根原型最多可穿透1米深的真正土壤。
The direction of growth is controlled by a material known as an electro-rheological fluid,which is also stored in the cone.
生长方向是由一种叫做电力流变液的物质控制的,该物质也储存在圆锥中。
Such fluids become more viscous when an electric current is applied to them, and changingthe viscosity on one side of a root but not the other,
当有电流通过时,该液体会变得更加粘稠,通过电池提供的电流改变根部一侧的粘稠度,而另一侧不变,
using current from the battery, causes the direction of growth to vary.
从而改变生长的方向。
One thing missing from the prototypes is a control system that responds to the root senvironment.
该原型中缺少一套可以对根的外部环境产生响应的控制系统。
The plan is to fit the next generation of cones with sensors that look for whatever the root isdesigned to find, and control its growth accordingly.
计划是在下一代的圆锥体中装上传感器,用以根据机器根的设计目的进行勘探,并相应地控制其生长方向。
