Abstract
The chapter delves into the sensory abilities of plants and their possible uses in advanced sensing technology. Over millions of years, plants have developed various sensing capabilities such as photosensing, temperature sensing, mechanical sensing, and chemical sensing. These remarkable functions have sparked new ideas in industries like robotics, agriculture, and smart cities, where intelligent sensors are indispensable. By studying and emulating the sensory systems of plants, experts can craft state-of-the-art sensing devices for numerous applications. This chapter offers valuable knowledge about the fascinating realm of plant sensing and how it could impact future research and development.
