Upcoming Military Robot Could Feed on Dead Bodies

It could be a combination of 19th-century mechanics, 21st-century technology — and a 20th-century horror movie.

A Maryland company under contract to the Pentagon is working on a steam-powered robot that would fuel itself by gobbling up whatever organic material it can find — grass, wood, old furniture, even dead bodies.

Robotic Technology Inc.’s Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot — that’s right, “EATR” — “can find, ingest, and extract energy from biomass in the environment (and other organically-based energy sources), as well as use conventional and alternative fuels (such as gasoline, heavy fuel, kerosene, diesel, propane, coal, cooking oil, and solar) when suitable,” reads the company’s Web site.

That “biomass” and “other organically-based energy sources” wouldn’t necessarily be limited to plant material — animal and human corpses contain plenty of energy, and they’d be plentiful in a war zone.

EATR will be powered by the Waste Heat Engine developed by Cyclone Power Technology of Pompano Beach, Fla., which uses an “external combustion chamber” burning up fuel to heat up water in a closed loop, generating electricity.

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.

Upon the EATR platform, the Pentagon could build all sorts of things — a transport, an ambulance, a communications center, even a mobile gunship.

In press materials, Robotic Technology presents EATR as an essentially benign artificial creature that fills its belly through “foraging,” despite the obvious military purpose.

Doesn’t seem to like Joey, does it?

FMLTWIA

Myfoxatlanta.com recently posted a list on Friday of “the top acronyms commonly used on the Internet and in text messages” , stuff parents should be on the lookout for. Sounds like a good article to publish, yeah? Keeping the older generation in the know is good thing, right?

Well, there seems to be a problem. The vast majority of these acronyms appear to be total bs. Who asks their FB to FMLTWIA IF/IB? Don’t know what the means? Don’t worry. Neither does almost every other person on the internet. This article was at least good for a laugh on NeoGAF.

Extras is extraordinarily funny!

Lately I’ve been really into British comedy, mostly thanks to Nab and the other Ukids putting me on to the phenomenal Peep Show and The Day Today. But I think I’ve found a new addiction in the Ricky Gervais’ HBO/BBC sitcom Extras, written, directed, and starring Rick Gervais. The premise is simple enough: Film extras working on sets and theater have hilarious encounters with various actors. The result though is pretty darn funny, and the cameos are ace. (more…)
