Please don’t worry about the mobile, autonomous gunship that eats people

eatrHey, how about a steam-powered robot that eats organic material for fuel? You know—plants?  Old furniture?  People (dead ones are, ah, suggested)?

Check out this passage from the article (apparently offered without tongue in cheek):

The advantages to the military are that the robot would be extremely flexible in fuel sources and could roam on its own for months, even years, without having to be refueled or serviced.

Upon the EATR platform, the Pentagon could build all sorts of things — a transport, an ambulance, a communications center, even a mobile gunship.

Uh-huh.
