Dr Jonathan Rossiter, a senior lecturer in the College of Bristol's Department of Engineering and Mathematics, has snagged a 2-year research grant well over £200,000 to build up robots that decompose once their mission if complete. What this means is rather than our automaton buddies rusting away, lacking of purpose, they might return beautifully (and most importantly non-toxically) to mother nature. Not just would this be considered a boon towards the atmosphere, but researchers would no more have to track and retrieve their mechanical progeny once it arrived at the finish of their functional existence, further sparing assets and permitting mass deployment. A minimum of we all know, once the day comes, the earth will not be injured.
