As usual, Bill Christensen over at Technovelgy is asking the questions that are secretly on all our minds: When will we have a robot that can eat people? He points out that we already have a slug-eating robot, as well as a robot that can "taste" and identify foods (though it unfortunately identified humans as bacon). Plus, there are robots designed to grab humans out of dangerous places (pictured). As Christensen says, all the pieces are in place for a human-eating robot. [Technovelgy]
