• Plant-inspired shape-changing interfaces leverage natural botanical mechanisms, such as pine cone hygroscopic movement and Venus flytrap snap action, to create adaptive, sustainable, and user-interactive systems.
• Recent advancements in smart materials, 4D printing, and pneumatic bistable actuators enable scalable fabrication and precise actuation of biomimetic morphing structures.
• Applications across agriculture, healthcare, architecture, and robotics demonstrate enhanced adaptability, functionality, and practical potential of plant-inspired interfaces.
• Key challenges remain in interdisciplinary design thinking, dynamic behavior and control, novel material development, application-scenario matching, and large-scale deployment.
