hehehe, Article here


So there's this robot that can survive without humans by using stinky crap to attract flies and then eating them and turning them into energy. That is awesome. Isn't that how Sektor and Cyrax worked?

Apparently it can travel for 5 days on just 5 flies...this is what good science is all about!

If it caught mosquitos, it would be a lot better.

They'd probably be harder to attract, though.

We'd just have to sacrafice a kid everyonce in a while, using their blood to attract mosquitos

But the thing is, which has a stronger smell: blood or shit? Flies find food by smell. How could mosquitoes do the same? Can they smell blood through skin?

I'll spend my dying days perfecting a robot that catches cicadas. That is, if the cicadas don't drive me to the edge of insanity first...

Mosquitos are attracted to warmer parts of the body cause that's where blood is, they detect heat. But if the robot attracts flies by being stinky, why would you want to have the stinky bastard in your house.
