@SciRobotics @Harvard Oh good. This will allow the deep state & Bill Gates to continue spraying heavy metals etc to weaken the sunshine and geo-engineering (chemtrails/weather modification) - killing all of the bees etc. So we can use these AI plant robots to pollinate. 🤗

Gave Gemini 3 Deep Think an image of a 3D spider web and asked for an interactive design tool. It generated a full design suite (procedural control, simulation, optimization) with STL export capability. I used it to engineer new metamaterials and a spider-web inspired bridge design, 3D printed it, then validated the structural integrity with a NVIDIA DGX Spark load test. A mind-blowing example of the future of material and architecture design - image in, fabrication-ready design out! Google Gemini

This installation enables a live plant to control a machete. Plant machete has a control system that reads and utilizes the electrical noises found in a live philodendron. The system uses an open-source microcontroller connected to the plant to read varying resistance signals across the plant’s leaves. Using custom software, these signals are mapped in real-time to the movements of the joints of the industrial robot holding a machete. In this way, the movements of the machete are determined based on input from the plant. Essentially, the plant is the brain of the robot, controlling the machete, determining how it swings, jabs, slices, and interacts in space. Video Credit: David Bowen #engineering #technology

The goal of Change My Mind has always been to highlight the failure of the institutions, the people paid handsomely to teach students how to think, not what to think. I am, once again, extending another open invitation to political science and liberal arts professors from the following schools: University of Texas (UT Austin) Kansas University (University of Kansas) University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) Stanford University (Stanford University) University of Southern California (USC) The University of Pennsylvania (Penn) Penn State University (Penn State) Columbia University (Columbia University) New York University (New York University) Harvard University (Harvard University) Boston University (Boston University) University of Denver (University of Denver) You pick the topic, time, place, and moderator. We’ll donate $10,000 to your university. If higher education still believes in open debate, let’s prove it.

There is a science lab onboard the International Space Station called the Life Sciences Glovebox. It’s one of the places we conduct biological and life science experiments in a controlled environment. It can control temperature, humidity, and even has a negative pressure environment so we can work with hazardous materials. Recent experiments in the LSG include a study to determine how bone cells can respond to various conditions in microgravity and determining if higher fidelity protein crystallization in space can yield more effective drugs. Here’s a short video describing what it is and how we deploy it.
