If such technology can be stuffed into a robot, why can't it be used to generate electricity elsewhere: cars, homes, electricity grid, & etc. ?

The article says the robot moves at 10cm/hr. I'm not sure that you want a car that solely powered by flies.
Hmm... I do wonder, though, how the robot gets energy from the sugars. Could it be that the robot hydrolyzises glucose in the same manner as living things do? If so... then aren't we really a lot closer to creating a cyborg than we realize?
