"I got the idea when I saw my grandmother,in her 70s,working hard to harvest lotus roots under the hot sun,Yang said.Sometimes,his grandmother would badly hurt her fingers while using harvesting tools. To make things easier for his grandmother,he decided to invent a robot that could do the job for her. With the help of his teacher,Hong Wei,Yang spent almost a year building a model of the robot.The robot can move by itself in the muddy fields where lotus roots grow.It uses special technology to distinguish ripe roots by looking at the colour of the lotus leaves.Then,its arm carefully cuts the roots without harming them. While creating the robot,Yang faced challenges like collecting parts for the model,putting them together and using a hot glue gun for connecting."The first time I used a hot glue gun,my hands were shaking,”Yang laughed.At first,he planned to use rotating blades(旋转叶片)for harvesting lotus roots.But it was hard to find them,so he used more common blades instead. When Yang showed the robot to his grandmother,she was happy and gave helpful suggestions for improvement.She suggested using a voice player to help locate the robot in thick lotus leaves."My grandmother's suggestion reminded me that any invention must be practical (to be truly valuable,”said Yang..

But how many vending machines can give you freshly grown greens? Replantin,an Israeli startup,is working on a special vending machine called PICI that actually grows healthy and high-quality leafy vegetables inside.The machine includes many shelves.Each shelf holds a different type of greens and allows for different conditions required for the plants to grow.Once a seed( )produces new leaves,it will change its conditions for the next period of growth.There is a water system in PICI that can water the plants a few times each day.Moreover,an AI-powered camera carefully monitors the growth of each plant.When the plants are ready to be eaten,they will be taken out of the vending machine.Best of all,A. PICI not only helps produce fresh vegetables more quickly but also cuts food waste.The machine grows fresh greens right where the end users are-in supermarkets,restaurants and hotels.This means that there's no need to carry the vegetables from the fields to the markets.In this way,people can avoid wasting food. Elitzur,the founder of Replantin,started the company in 2023 after he noticed that greens grown far away are often not fresh when they arrive at the markets.They need to be kept in the refrigerator and have a short life.Elitzur believes that with more people living in cities,the way people grow food needs to be changed.And that is Replantin's goal.
