I remember some "How it's made" videos where conveyor belts and automation were put to very good use in baking cookies, and such. I take it that this implementation is more artisanal?

edit: The gummies are special because they can potentially glow and deform in a unique way. Interactivity is possibly overstated in this case.

Edible batteries sounds interesting, but I take it the LEDs themselves are not intended for consumption?

> “Robotics and food are two separate worlds,” says Dario Floreano, head of the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems (LIS) at EPFL and coordinator of the RoboFood project.

we should keep it that way

Anyone who has seen even one episode of How It's Made knows this is not the case.

That’s an arbitrary choice to make food that way, not immutable physical force.

Good to see science literacy is as bad as ever.

I'm gonna have to read up more on this one. I have a hard time grasping how this is possible:

> "Edible robots could be used to deliver food to endangered areas, to deliver medicines in innovative ways to people who have difficulty swallowing or to animals"

Given the main anecdote:

> "two completely edible robotic teddy bears...when air is injected through dedicated pathways, their heads and arms move."

Seems like there's a long way to go here.
