Garbage-eating robot goat (guess which country it came from)

By Rain Noe - November 6, 2007

Here's a novel way to prevent litter: place an animatronic goat on the premises. At Tokyo's Edogawa Kyotei boat race course, gamblers used to throw their losing tickets on the floor. Enter robo-goat, which has been programmed to "eat" the tickets you place in its mouth; feeding the thing is more satisfying than littering, which keeps the floors cleaner and gives us something really weird to write about.

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
