British defence giant BAE Systems is creating a series of tiny electronic spiders, insects and snakes that could become the eyes and ears of soldiers on the battlefield.
As in minority report, the robots will be released in a swarm into the building to relay images back to the soldiers’ hand-held or wrist-mounted computers, warning them of any threats inside, or equipped with sensors to detect chemical, biological or radioactive weapons.
