E.A.T.E.R robot

Julie · E.A.T.E.R robot

After listening to a report on this on R4 yesterday - one which spawned some hilarious references to skynet and terminator - I went trawling for info.
E.A.T.E.R is a robot that fuels itself by scavenging for organic matter which is being designed by an American company and funded by the Pentagon.
