The Rose-bots are believed to be givers of specialized attention.
The proliferation of the Rosa acicularis is probably a direct indication
of their intricate knowledge of rose genealogy and growth patterns.
Molecular collectors attract nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash to
the soil surrounding the roses' intricate root structure. Heating coils
emanate ambient warmth during the winter season. Highly protective
of the leaves and buds, Rose-bots monitor the bush
for signs of insects and scale. The most curious behavior
displayed is the tendency to selectively remove parts of the plant
to stimulate optimal growth and quality of the blooms.
This pruning activity indicates that these robots are programmed for aesthetics.
These Nanobot gardeners were accidentally discovered by researchers using Atomic Force Microscopes. High-powered magnification revealed mechanical entities on or near various forms of plant life. Researchers have noted that their presence stimulates the growth and well being in flowers.
The origins of these robotic advocates of plants and flowers are unknown. Few have been detected due to their size and stealthy behavior. The discoverers have named them "Roboticus botanica" or more affectionately, "Gro-bots."
We are continually learning more about these curious mechanical wonders. We will post descriptions and images as they are discovered.
