Can you spare a tinkle for a poor, down on his luck, out of work killbot, sir?
Iowa Andy sent me a link to a story with the title Urine-powered robot to acquire human-like heart. The developers suggest:

So again, as with so many projects, "success" is dependent on genetically optimized organisms. Food, fiber, and intelligence are already manipulated.
Still nothing will ever reduce the supremacy of oil except plague.
