The Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR) is a project by Robotic Technology Inc. (RTI) and Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. to develop a robotic vehicle that could forage for plant biomass to fuel itself, theoretically operating indefinitely. It is being developed as a concept as part of the DARPA military projects for the United States military.[1]
The project elicited some internet and media rumors after news circulated that the robot would (or at least could) ingest human remains.[2] Cyclone Power Technologies have stated that animal or human biomass was not intended to be used in the waste heat combustion engine of the robot,[3] and that sensors would be able to distinguish foraged materials[1] although the project overview from RTI lists other sources including chicken fat.[4]
it can also build replicas of itself..

So whilst some of your colleagues are making military tech and cool shit, you're basically doing a jumped up soda stream

They get much crazier. Samsung built a killer sentry robot for South Korea to patrol the borders a few years ago.
Also, an episode of Future Weapons from 2006 or so was about robot weapon systems, they had some surveillance microbots that flew into vents like bees, and a robot snake one that crawled up walls and into windows. Now just imagine what's classified...
In the second video skip to 50 seconds to watch BigDog walk on ice. Looks like someone on ketamine.
