The Truth About EATR

Recently, I wrote a little post about a DARPA funded robot project that featured some Sci-Fi drama queen embellishment. One of the principal propeller-heads behind the project has written us to set the record straight. EATR does not in fact hunt and eat humans. EATR is a peaceful, grazing kind of robot, quietly treading the fields and green of our beautiful planet, munching happily on the occasional dead twig, soft and fuzzy moss or recently raked pile of leaves. EATR is nothing to fear. If you see EATR in your neighbourhood, do not be afraid. Give it your compost and let’s all be friends.

Thanks very much MrRobot0 for urging me to get the facts straight. Head on over to MrRobot0’s blog for the full, bunny safe, scoop on EATR.
