Don't Go Round For A Meal

"Scientists in England have built a series of small robots that get their energy from dead flies, rotten apples, or sugar...scientists at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory want to invent robots that can operate for long periods of time in dark, dirty, or dangerous places...One robot, called Ecobot II, could run for 12 days on a diet of eight flies!"

8 flies? That's nothing, Kate Moss lasted the entire month of February on just a gnat's wing.

Dark, dirty, or dangerous places - why does Birmingham need robots?
