Flower Robots For Your Home

Roland Piquepaille writes "Flower robots are not new, and some have already been developed in the US. Now, South Korean researchers have created a robotic plant which acts like real ones. This robot has humidifying, oxygen-producing, aroma-emitting, and kinetic functions. It is about 1.30 meters tall and 40 centimeters in diameter. The robotic plant can interact with people when they approach, and it can 'dance' when music is played. The researchers don't say when a commercial version of their flowers will come to the market. They also don't mention a retail price."

Troll ? Maybe, but check out this link http://slashdot.org/~rpiquepa and wonder for yourself if it is natural that somebody has all their submissions posted to the /. frontpage.
Not a single reject !
Makes you wonder what dear Roland would have to write to get rejected. Or if that's possible at all?
