"Researchers at Keio University in Japan have developed a system allowing interactive plants to express their emotions. The researchers say that the purpose of the project is to &amp;quot;make living plants even more alive.&amp;quot; The system works by attaching cords to the plants&amp;#039; limbs, which are linked up to a motor. A sensor, which is also attached to the plant, sends messages to the motors which in turn pulls the strings in a certain way depending on the emotion of the plant. The end result is a tree that looks like it&amp;#039;s been turned into some sort of puppet.  While some find this invention remarkable and agree with the project, others comment that plants should be left to their natural beauty."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
