Ants
Autonomous Night-time Technicians | |
I propose tiny robots that move around your kitchen at night and pick up any food you've left out. They will use chemical sensors and swarm technology to dissassemble larger particles. They will be small, safe, and inconspicuous. The only fuel they will need is the food they pick up. Furthermore they
will be self-replicating.

I call them 'mice' but my renters always yell 'rat!!'... |
|
| |
Would they be like a roomba vacuum cleaner? Or more cricket-sized? |
|
| |
Better or worse tasting when they die in the sugar bowl? |
|
| |
And furthermore, will they defend themselves by the appendages they use to pick up the food? |
|
| |
They will happily keep insects out of your kitchen by eating them. |
|
| |
Why not just let ants do it? |
