Military Robot fueled by Dead Bodies!


"animal and human corpses contain plenty of energy, and they'd be plentiful in a war zone. The advantages to the military are that the robot would be extremely flexible in fuel sources and could roam on its own for months, even years, without having to be refueled or serviced."

:eek:

They want to build an unstoppable, corpse-eating killing machine. ARE THEY OFF THEIR FUCKING NUTS!? HAS SCIENCE FICTION TAUGHT US NOTHING!!!!?? :eek:

Jesus, someone forward these fuckers some Phillip K. Dick short stories.

[bassman]

This is a great idea.:rolleyes:

so essentially the developer needed an idea fast as a deadline approached, got high, watched screamers and whent "woah dude....." and in 50 years hunters will go into the woods, not looking for bears or deer or something, but for these little mobile tank buggers that steal there kids in the night.

Ahhh, I can just picture a bunch of these, needing a recharge, doing a Torrez or Rickles on some human sap in the wrong place and the wrong time.

Ain't the future grand?

I certainly hope they aren't building these models...

Oh, the cheesy nostalgia of it all. :)

I don't see the problem. Nowhere in there did it say these machines would be self-programming, self-replicating, infinite ammo-having ultra-droids. Not like 3 of these things would eat 6 billion people.

I found this news story about the U.S. military developing a robot that would in part consumes dead bodies to sustain itself.

This EATR program is kind of primitive, but image what EATR 2.0 might be like...say a weapon's platform where all mechanical and electronic components are replaced by a single biological organism. Think of what would happen if the EATR 2.0 organism escaped from a weapons lab into the wild :hyper: It could replicate and infest all sorts of metallic objects and use them as a housing. Then it could turn itself into an army of man eating weapons :blood:

Cool story idea IMHO if anybody wants it.

Errh. Why would a non-conscious machine escape? THat would be sort off like my microwave escaping. ;)

[Neil]

Shit! Mix that up with some AI and you've got a scary bio-consuming monster :(

That's not a very fair comparison, Ned. Everyone knows your microwave hates you and exists solely to burn your popcorn, not to escape from you and live in the South of France whilst working on its oft-talked about, but never quite complete novel.

They changed the original story to say it will not eat dead bodies, but it will be vegetarian. At least we won't have to hear PETA complain about robots now...

Change the story to calm the public but forgot to change the robots.

RUN!
