Now Robots Poop Too

Ecobot III

Ecobot III, the eating and pooping robot

Robots are becoming highly advanced and, in an effort to become energetically independent, they now poop. Ecobot III is a robot capable of extracting energy from food by digesting it and ultimately getting rid of the leftover waste (i.e. it poops). It was created by Researchers at the UK’s Bristol Robotics Laboratory

This reminds us of EATR, the vegan robot, but the Ecobot III eats partially processed sewage (yummy!) instead of vegetables .
