Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot
The Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR) is a project by Robotic Technology Inc. (RTI) and Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. to develop a robotic vehicle that could forage for plant biomass to fuel itself, theoretically operating indefinitely. It is being developed as a concept as part of the DARPA military projects for the United States military.
The project elicited some internet and media rumors after news circulated that the robot would (or at least could) ingest human remains. Cyclone Power Technologies have stated that animal or human biomass was not intended to be used in the ''waste heat'' combustion engine of the robot,〔 Press release, RTI Inc. (2009 July 16). ("Press Release" ), ''Cyclone Power Technologies Responds to Rumors about “Flesh Eating” Military Robot'', pp. 1–2.〕 and that sensors would be able to distinguish foraged materials〔 although the project overview from RTI lists other sources including chicken fat.〔
==Power plant==
The robot is powered by a steam engine built by the Cyclone Power Technologies company called the Cyclone Waste Heat Engine, which produces power through external combustion of biomass (i.e. combustion outside of the engine), and is an example of a Rankine cycle engine. The engine will power the vehicle's movement as well as being used to recharge the batteries that run the sensors, arms and ancillary devices.〔 Press release, RTI Inc. (2009 April 6).
