We’ve actually mentioned a couple of these gastrobots before, but it looks like the technology may be maturing and expanding — to offer more carnivorous machines. Check out some of these meat-eating devices, if you’re not squeamish.
- Several pieces of furniture have been designed to eat insects or rodents. The smell of rotting mice can’t be too pleasant in a small room, though. [url]
- Watch this clock — and its microbial fuel cell — as it digest various bugs… so it can tell time for about 2 weeks. It’s just a bit more complex than those clocks that run on potatoes. [url]
- The autonomous slugbot consumes slugs and helps rid farmers of the crop-destroying pests. Using these bots, farms could cut back on spraying pesticides. [url]
- The Chew-Chew bot is powered by sugar cubes — and it’s an old prototype (ancestor?) of these gastrobots. Hopefully, Chew-Chew’s offspring won’t acquire a taste for Soylent Green… [url]

By the way, StumbleUpon can recommend some good Techdirt articles, too.

We have ultrasonic devices that they sell at various stores.
