Oh good, robot dogs. What could possibly go wrong?
DARPA once built a robot that roams around battlefields and consumes human corpses for energy. They called it EATR.
This sounds far too badass to be real.
It was never literally real. But it was developed as a plausible concept.

It also wasn't actually eating corpses. Supposedly.
I remember when that came out. I'm guessing they're still secretly working on it.
It went rogue and ate all its designers. Currently locked in a vault with the door welded shut at Edwards air force base, it hibernates, waiting patiently for its next meal.
