Researchers at NEC System technologies and Mie University have designed a cute little robot that is capable of identifying organic material but as soon as a reporter placed his hand on the robots mouth, it was identified as bacon. Succulent savory bacon. This is the beginning of the end of the human race, prepare yourself for the robot apocalypse.
A metal man gastronomist, “an electromechanical sommelier”, capable of identifying wines, cheeses, meats and hors d’oeuvres. Upon being given a sample, he will speak up in a childlike voice and identify what he has just been fed. The idea is that wineries can tell if a wine is authentic without even opening the bottle, amongst other more obscure uses…like “tell me what this strange grayish lump at the back of my freezer is/was.”
But when some smart aleck reporter placed his hand in the robot’s omnivorous clanking jaw, he was identified as bacon. A cameraman then tried and was identified as prosciutto.
WE’RE ALL DOOMED….wait, proscuitto? Wow, we are fancy bacon.

Interesting. It’s in the vicinity of what the truth is, so I’m more impressed by its accuracy than anything.
