Exoskeleton turns plants into faunaborgs so they can autonomously seek sunlight and water

If you don't have a backyard -- or have one that doesn't get enough light -- it might be too much of a hassle to fit caring for some plants into your daily routine. Sure, plants just sit around not causing too much trouble, but you still have to maneuver them into the sunlight along with watering them, and if you have a limited availability of windows that face natural light, it can become tedious to play musical windows all day. A new project out of Rutgers University aims to put plants into their own exoskeletons that can autonomously chase the sunlight around, making your day a little less tedious.
