I’m not saying that one day robots will eat and digest you for energy, but I am saying. Especially given the state of two minds that are creating carnivorous robots that run on the juices extracted from various pests and their materials.
This one grabs flies, mice or other small creatures, scrapes them into a microbial fuel cell vat of bacteria that breaks down the biological material into pure robot-loving energy. No word on if the vat removes the fibrous material or if it’s dishwasher safe.
Enjoy your dreams of being slowly digested. The ‘Matrix’ scenario is sounding better all the time.
They can gain energy by chomping on flies and mice…The pests are lured in and digested by an internal microbial fuel cell. – New Scientist
Although they currently rely on a main power source, is likely the could extract enough energy to be fully powered by their captured prey. Ya gotta human ingenuity.
