Advancements in
are just as awesome as the recent progress in robotics. This dancing pair was on exhibit in Tokyo at the 2009 FC Expo and is completely hydrogen-powered. The
, Speecys-FC, emerged nearly 4 years ago with a price tag of $24,000.
Appropriately named EATR, this robot is currently under development by Robotics Technology. EATR is a
intended for tactical use. Rather than requiring refueling, EATR will search for nearby plants, eat them, and convert them into biomass for its operation.

Following in the path of his eco-martyr’s namesake, Chico Mendes lives in the Amazon rainforest and spends his days monitoring the oxygen levels and Ph balance of the water. Five of these
are currently roaming the rainforest, operating on primarily solar power.
