A robot that searches out the best place for it's little vegetable symbiont is my pick of best robot of the day.
But what if instead the plant wasn't a passenger, but actually part of the robot itself? The plant would be a central feature in it's bio-feedback system, controlling the robot to work with the rest of a cybernetic grove that migrate along the high Martian plateau.
A new species of green intelligence for the old planet of Barsoom. Now that's a grove-intelligence construct that I want to see.

Six for Science
More science, please.
1. Twittering the apocalypse - how many tweets before that asteroid destoys us?
2. Jelly fish shake the ocean - new ideas about ocean current circulation.
3. Exploring the Giant-Ocean Trash Vortex.
4. Brevity is the soul of wit... and dolphin movement.
5. Boiling stars.
6. We now know how your memory is damaged by smoking pot. Chronics won't care, but it could lead to better medical care.
