6. Robots in Agriculture
Researchers at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory are developing an agricultural robot that can detect slugs, pluck them up, and eat them – then “digest” the slugs for energy to keep themselves running. The trick will be developing a microbial fuel cell to extract electrons from the source of nutrition. The lab works in partnership with the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England.
