The abomination above is the University of Bristol's Chewing Robot, a robot designed to replicate the complex human chewing motion so scientists can study the effects of wear and tear on different materials used to restore missing teeth. This contraption makes it first public appearance (God forbid anything goes awry) at the Royal Society Summer Exhibition in London.Sure, it is easy to say that one should not criticize our friends across the pond for developing technology that might actually help their notoriously comedic dental issues (it's call a tooth brush-use daily!). However, this chewing robot is clearly designed to replace those members of society who can pretty much do nothing else but chew—the elderly.
Look familiar?
