living plant controls a machete through an industrial robot arm

Really ? So shit isn’t screwed up enough, now they wanna give machetes to a freaking plant ?

“
David Bowen’s installation, ‘Plant Machete,’ enables a living plant to move a machete through an industrial robot‘s bionic-like arm. The installation implements a control system that measures electrical noises found in the living philodendron. This system uses an open source micro-controller connected to the plant, which reads varying resistance signals across the its leaves.
