Dr Jonathan Rossiter, a senior lecturer on the University of Bristol's Department of Engineering and arithmetic, has snagged a two-year research grant of over £200,000 to develop robots that decompose once their mission if complete. This implies rather than our automaton friends rusting away, with out purpose, they can return gracefully (and more importantly non-toxically) back to mother earth. Not just would this be a boon to our environment, but scientists would now not have to track and retrieve their mechanical progeny once it reached the tip of its usable life, further sparing resources and allowing mass deployment. At the very least we all know, when the day comes, the planet won't be harmed.
