Well, the "pooping" isn't the point, just the solution to a problem. While it's possible to create robots that get their energy out of organic material (which can be a nice option if you want them to function in places where there's no electricity and solar cells aren't an option), they had only a limited time before they had used up all of their organic material and shut down. With this system, the robot can dump (no pun intended) its used organic material, and ingest more to prolong its active time. And calling it "pooping" is really a misnomer. It's not as if they programmed a robot to sit down on a toilet. It probably looks more like changing a battery.
That's it, pooping robot was the final stage before our metal friends turn on their masters... And perhaps fling poo like a monkey. Am I the only one who kinda wants to see a video of this?
I like the idea of a pooping robot. now we can say "dont waste your money on that thing, its crap. who needs it?"
I think it's a really great idea. Like Filip said: That would be a really amazing idea, and smart! I'm really looking forward to seeing how these robots turn out.
Don't even v_v We are already lost. SkyNet is already up and running. Its only a matter of time like you said v_v
You would think they would try to make it so they use all of the biomass and create it so it's 100% efficient, or at least close to it. But instead they make it poop. Where's the logic in that?
