====I. Circuit Overview==== | ====I. Circuit Overview==== | ||
Inspired by the smooth-organic movement of the Sleepy Plant (Mimosa pudica) this circuit wants to experiment with different methods of locomotion, testing the possibilities of the nickel - titanium wire alloy. | |||

====V. FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS ==== | |||
1. Incorporate an Infrared sender and receiver instead of a Photocell in order to improve the reaction to “touch” | |||
2. At the moment, I’m experimenting with 3D printing and a possible electronic object with this technique. These are photos of this process so far | |||

Opps! Problems with the object design... | |||
