That's a relief
Wired's military tech blog Danger Room has the best press release I've seen in some time. Company Denies its Robots Feed on the Dead.
It does seem that any time the idea of a robot powered by foraging for biomass is mentioned, fears that they'll rise up like carnivorous terminators seems to follow. Of course giving the thing a name with the acronym EATR, probably doesn't help. Of course we do know that robots think people taste like bacon so maybe there is cause to worry.
