Chew-Chew is called, and has been planned and realized from Stuart Wilkinson of the University of Tampa in Florida, the able robot to nourish itself alone. Battery to microbico fuel is only equipped of one that serves in order to produce the energy for its operation. This jewel of the technology will be introduced to the Hawaii, in the course of a conference dedicated to the robotics, in August. The idea for which it has been planned is that one to develop in future of the independent robots even if Chew-Chew, to see it, is similar large trenino an electrical worker, with three vagoni of a meter of length, everyone containing the electronic organs. To the inside of the battery to microbico fuel, that it has the same function of the stomach, there is an entire population of bacteria Escherichia Coli, which, attacking the food, convert the chemical energy in electric power. For the moment the performances of the robot are limited to produce energy that allows it to move directly and of stoccarla in one battery. The robot can be only moved when the battery is loads. Chew-Chew currently nutre of sugar pieces, that they can entire be assimilates to you from the microbes, without to produce slags. Stuart Wilkinson supports that this robot could be employed in simple duties like, as an example, given over submarine robots to the marine surveillance that could be nourished of fish.
