"'Flesh Eating' Military Robot Strictly Vegetarian"

A few days ago I posted on a robot that could consume human flesh to power its system (Berman Post: Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR) [AKA Flesh Eating Robot]). An email from the company states that information on the robot was misreported;

"Cyclone Power Technologies and Robotic Technology Inc are partnering to create a robot that can forage for its own "food" - fuel to run on.

Unfortunately this week, some media outlets have incorrectly stated this week that the robot will feed on dead bodies for fuel.

The truth is, this robot will be a strict vegetarian. This is a cutting-edge project that has tremendous potential for reconnaissance, surveillance and other military/security applications.

  1. So, Berman, you believe everything you're told? What is there to stop the military, the government, the contract killers from using this machine to "eat" human and animal flesh? Don't tell me ethics, because that hasn't stopped criminal behavior by these groups historically, ever.

    What a convenient way to "clean up" after a mass death event (flu) or intentional mass killing. Mass killing: another government activity - no?

    Please don't be so naive!
