Using robots

Synonyms:
Developing automation systems
Implementation:
At the University of South Florida, a robot has been developed that fuels itself with sugar. [E. coli] bacteria are provided to break down the food and convert it into electricity. It is hoped to convert the robot to eat vegetation -- although unlike sugar, which produces only water and carbon dioxide as byproducts, vegetation would create waste-disposal problems.
