For this thesis, you will design and prototype support structures able to actuate various parts of living plants to communicate with their users. In a living room setup, these structure will be connected to the local network to form IoT devices. Their behaviour will connected to changes in their environment in different application scenarios.

Focus

This work will focus on physical prototyping (3D printing, lasercutting, ...), microcontroller programming (Arduino, ...) and some additional programming depending on the application scenario.
