In 2005, Italian botanist Stefano Mancuso founded the International Laboratory of Plant Neurobiology (LINV), a plant neurobiology laboratory dedicated to exploring ways of communication that plants establish at all levels of organization. In 2012, upon his participation in the Plantoid project, he presented a robot capable of acting like a plant. Two years later, as a result of his invention, the botanist opened a startup dedicated to plant biomimetics, a branch that involves technological artifacts imitating certain plant capabilities. Through these contributions to science, Mancuso holds the responsibility of being the founder of plant neurobiology. Mancuso is the fundamental voice of what is called the “vegetable turning point”: the moment when plants stopped being just decorative elements or a source of food, for example, to be studied in their own intelligence and sensibility. This innovative perception of the world, of the relationship between human beings and plants, gains literary shapes in works such as The Plant of the World (2021) and Plant Revolution (2019).
