A new invention took place in the world of robotics. James Auger and Jimmy Loizeau at the Royal College of Art London have designed a number of domestic robots that will lure and eat up flies and other small moving insects. They will also benefit from the process by deriving energy from the swallowed insects.This is because they are powered by an internal microbial fuel cell installed within the robots which run by this process.
The idea of using vermin as fuel was first proposed by a UK based company, Bristol Robotics Lab, who had developed the first fly-powered robot in 2004, an proposed that similar marine robots could be developed which could survive on plankton.
