Caption
HybriBot consists of a flour-based capsule created using 3D microfabrication techniques, and two natural appendages from oat fruit capable of moving in response to air humidity. Its artificial capsule weighs 60 mg, about 3 times the natural weight. Once ready, the capsule can be filled with seeds of other plants and fertilizing substances.
