It just makes sense. Robots attack humans. Robots ingest humans. Robot digest humans. Robots excrete oily human remains. Chewin’ and pooin’ is what Ecobot III is all about. However, it doesn’t actually chew. It’s equipped with “digestive tract” in which Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) containing biomass hungry bacteria converts the material to hydrogen. Once the…

I’m telling you, there’s no end to the carnage… or virtual carnage… or inane thoughts I get when I see pretty lights shooting out of a robot. But that just goes to show how naivety will bleed us dry in a fit of flashy brilliance. What is this I speak of? An experiment from Chris…

Aaaccck! Yeah, forget the fact that the bug you just swallowed was, oh, say the size of your palm. It also happens to have the newest in remote radio control gadgetry, and probably the diseases of a hundred generations, strapped to it’s muscly exoskeleton. As if we didn’t have enough to make us cringe with…

Cruuuunch. Remember the sound, because it’s likely to be the last thing you hear as you see the contents of your body somehow digested through the visible Endoskeleton support structure of the latest in robo-gadgetry, the Eccerobot. If the name isn’t enough to make you contemplate full, electro-conductive body armor options, the clunky movement of…

You know that point where robots become more agile than humans and then dead, lifeless bodies scatter the streets of the cities. Yeah, that is approaching, and you’ll love to see what’s putting it all in motion. Ishikawa Komuro Lab has been busy over the past 10 or so years developing technology in high-speed visual…

There’s just no shortage of pre-apocalyptic robot news these days. We’ve learned the ways in which robots could potentially feed themselves. If that’s possible, why shouldn’t they be equipped with a ‘self-learning mode’ for flawless pursuit upon a rippin’ rice burner? And if not that, then why shouldn’t they use frictional lifting patterns being studied…

Ok, it’s just too much to take. As if robots partaking of live flesh wasn’t bad enough, now we have robots with the autonomous foresight to continue their steam-powered existence by means of consuming the DEAD. Robotic Technologies Inc. is sending us out with the creation of a proper robot predator – the EATR. That…

I’m not saying that, one day, robots will eat and digest you for energy, but yeah, I am saying that. Especially given the state of the two minds that are creating carnivorous robots that run on the juices extracted from various pests and their materials.
