Life imitates art... Or, Do you look forward to being a Robot snack?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

A recent story detailing the explosion of cemetery expansion over the last 10 years reminded me of the EATR robot program. When the story was first launched in 2009 ( the holy see) Huffington as well as Fox carried company issued public relations material that the talking heads repeated verbatim… When the story first came out, the networks ran as is…http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/15/military-eatr-robot-could_n_233418.html

The very next day, Fox revised the story ;;;http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,532492,00.html?test=latestnews

“Despite the far-reaching reports that this includes “human bodies,” the public can be assured that the engine Cyclone (Cyclone Power Technologies Inc.) has developed to power the EATR runs on fuel no scarier than twigs, grass clippings and wood chips — small, plant-based items for which RTI’s robotic technology is designed to forage. Desecration of the dead is a war crime under Article 15 of the Geneva Conventions, and is certainly not something sanctioned by DARPA, Cyclone or RTI.”

This is from the manufacturer of the robot…: A robotic vehicle’s inherent advantage is its ability to engage in long-endurance,

tedious, and hazardous tasks, such as Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target

Acquisition (RSTA) under difficult conditions, without fatigue or stress. This advantage

can be severely reduced by the need for the robotic platform to replenish its fuel supply.

Example long-range, long-endurance missions for robotic ground vehicles include:

RSTA missions in the mountains and caves of Afghanistan and Pakistan; search

missions for nuclear facilities and underground bunkers in rogue nations; special

operations and counter-insurgency; patrolling remote borders; homeland security;

serving as nodes in distributed and remote command, control, communications, and

intelligence (C3I) networks; and serving as remote, mobile sensor and target tracking

platforms in ballistic missile defense systems. Either strategically or tactically, longrange, long-endurance UGVs can work cooperatively with – and complement –

long-range, long-endurance UAVs.

TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES

The initial objective is to develop and demonstrate a proof-of-concept system.

Demonstration of a full operational prototype is the objective for a Phase III

commercialization project.

The project will demonstrate the ability of the EATR™ to: (1) identify suitable biomass

sources of energy and distinguish those sources from unsuitable materials (e.g., wood,

grass, or paper from rocks, metal, or glass); (2) spatially locate and manipulate the

sources of energy (e.g., cut or shred to size, grasp, lift, and ingest); and (3) convert the

biomass to sufficient electrical energy to power the EATR™ subsystems.
