Re: Military Robotics Research
While the idea of the robot "feeding on dead bodies" makes a nice headline for Fox news, the concept of having an herbivorous robot makes a lot of sense... I mean... why couldn't a robot lawnmower power itself using lawn trimmings? Or, I suppose... I could just get a couple sheep and implant that cybug technology into them!

I could use some help with dust down here. Powered by dust or hey, a vacuum cleaner powered by the stuff it sucks up... which includes - dust -

I'm not a dust person.

If you could make it run on pollen and cat hair while you are at it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Military Robotics Research
There might be a market for a robot that eats kudzu. It would need to have a fairly long service life, though -- many states in the southern tier of the US are covered with the stuff, so a kudzu-bot might need to run continuously for several years, eating at least a ton per day, to keep up with the growth rate.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

All of our robots that are more than 2 years old do a great job collecting dust. It is a bit bizarre. There were no special modifications required other than they be left alone for a couple months at a time. Best part is the dust is on the surface, so you can see what a great job they are doing at collecting all that extra dust.

I just read about this. Apparently, the part about eating dead bodies was added in by Fox News.
