Dr. Ian Kelly's slug hunting robot, SlugBot, has made the news again. This time the BBC has an article on SlugBot. The article notes, among other things, that Slugs were chosen because they're one of the few animals you don't need a license to hunt in England. Work is still progressing on powering the robots by having them "digest" the pests as they are removed from crop areas.
Isnt the use of living things as a power scorce kinnda like the matrix. If they get intellegence they may move on to us. Anyway the idea of a slug hunting robot is cool and i hope it goes on. A new type of power scource may become usaefull in the near future.
