Robot war spiders

My research assistant Marc found this mock-up of a robotic intelligence gathering spider.  (Not yet real.)

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, helping to save thousands of
lives.

Prototypes could be on the front line by the end of the year,
scuttling into potential danger areas such as booby-trapped buildings
or enemy hideouts to relay images back to troops safely positioned
nearby.
