Prepare to Be Hypnotized By These Delicate Paper Robots

Touch one of its leaves and it curls up like it\u2019s embarrassed, the leaflets folding in on each other. It\u2019s hypnotic and, well, kind of a surprising response for an organism without a brain. Now, the shameplant is getting its very own robotic doppelganger.
