they already came up with the miniaturized nuclear core. why go backwards? good luck sending it to mars now.

[citation][nom]p00dl3_h3r0[/nom]What's funny is that the only real reason it won't eat flesh is because of the Geneva convention, not necessarily because its technologically not possible.[/citation]

No. The real reason is because of the First Law of Robotics.

I want a car that grazes for energy, keep my lawn short and get me to work. Does it poo?

"No. The real reason is because of the First Law of Robotics."

...just because someone thought it up, it hardly makes it a LAW. Also we have HUMANS that disobey laws, so what's to say this is any more foolproof, especially programmed by humans ?

You don't need a robot. Just strap some lasers on the head of a goat.

They want to get rid of bodyparts in the war?

[citation][nom]Darkk[/nom]I actually looked at the PDF file and there is no mention of eating any dead bodies so somebody made that up. Even if it were to be true I would find it horrible as it may mistake a coma person over a dead one. So ya not such a great idea.The company is on the right track of self-sustaining machine that can stay out in the battlefield for months or years.[/citation]
I don't like the idea of war robots refueling themselves, especially when a glitch or extremist programmer could cause it to start eating humans.

OMG, hackers could take over the world with these things...

So it's kinda like "Mr. Fusion" on the back of the time-traveling DeLorean? Good, now they just need to invent a Flux Capacitor. Seriously though, this is exciting news. Once the technology trickles down to consumer level (in what, 100 years???) we'll be able to power our homes with our trash. No more coal-burning powerplants, no more annoying, ugly, polluting trash trucks... Then Again... I'm still waiting on my flying car since Back to the Future..
