Modern robots can move with incredible agility but still fall short in endurance. Though most research has focused on better batteries, there is another possibility: Build robots that eat, @UWMechEngr’s @LabPikul writes in @ConversationUS. https://t.co/0qChhQabJm

Even the best batteries fall far short of animal metabolism for energy storage. Fueling robots with ‘food’ could narrow the gap.
