Military Robot Could Eat Dead Bodies

Yeah, they start out eating dead bodies. Next thing you know, they've developed a taste for human flesh and John Connor is sending dudes back in time to protect his mom.

Next time you drink a homebrew, thank Jimmy Carter, who on October 14, 1978 signed H.R.1337 legalizing homebrewing in the United States.

"About 150 pounds of vegetation could provide energy to drive 100 miles, the company says. "

Wow!  (if it gets equal mileage from vegetation and people) 1 soldier per 100 miles doesn't seem like very good mileage.  I suppose if it were munching its way thru enemy territory it could keep it from being so messy.

Robots evolve to learn cooperation, hunting

very cool: "The researchers also observed altruistic behavior, in which robots would sacrifice getting points for themselves in favor of getting points for their whole group of related robots."

And lets not forget Starfleet's M-5 Computer experiment. Turning the firepower of a intergalactic battle ship over to AI. Smart Move.

Seriously, do these ever turn out good?
