Sometimes robotics is not all about high technology and ground breaking logarithms and science. It can be quite inane and even stupidly funny. Take for example this Robotic Sunflower developed by the University of Kyushu in Japan. The Sunflower comes with LED lights that light up if you wave your hands around it, in response.

Though the sunflower is of no importance and there is no apparent reason for the robotic sunflower’s existence, it gives yet another example about how people do not really care about either the robotic technology or what it is really all about. After a couple of minutes, I am very sure you will get bored of the whole deal, as it doesn’t do anything but light up at the presence of a person and then switch off.

At least, if the Robotic Sunflower helped in tracking or being a spy gadget, it would have been a cool device. Unfortunately, it does almost nothing. Nevertheless, it is a cute and stylish device which you could get for yourself and keep in the living room in order to entertain your guests when they are bored.
