Edible Robots: A Revolutionary Innovation from Switzerland

June 21, 2024

Scientists in Switzerland are developing edible robots. This is no joke, as the project is being funded by the EU. Currently, researchers are searching for edible alternatives to common materials such as starch or tannin instead of glue, and gelatin instead of rubber. They have already assembled a drone that is 50% edible, with its wings made from rice crackers. It's difficult to say exactly what this is for, but using the drone as an example, it could be used to search for a missing person, who could then eat it immediately to satisfy their hunger in an emergency.
