Down here in Central Florida, there was a recent furor raised over a "flesh-eating" robot. It turned out to be a gross misunderstanding of statements made by its creator. He designed it to "eat" sugar (you "feed" it sugar, it extracts energy from it to operate). Someone had asked him if it could "eat" meat. His reply was not at the moment, but it would not be impossible to modify the robot to do so.
