You had me at “edible.”

I’d say the demonstration was a great success!

I’m not disappointed, but I thought this might be a robot that could be deployed en masse to march to hungry people and feed them.

It would be bad if origami-belly-bot was sharp and pointy.

Bite my shiny edible ass!

Edible =/= Ingestible

I, for one, welcome our delicious robotic overlords…

I’d imagine it might be a tad unsettling if it flips around in your gut the way it does in the video.

Forget butterflies in the stomach - it would be like swallowing a bristlebot.

I sure hope they’re not delicious, or else Frito-Lay will start selling them in bags, and people will have hundreds of robots crawling around in their guts.

Who stole the kishka? MIT stole the kishka.

Oh, Gods - if these robots are in kishka, they’ll never get anyone to ingest them… one of the most vile things… (aside from cilantro, of course)

As a kid I loved kishka. . . until my mother finally told me what it was made from.
