What better way to sneak upon an enemy than in a disguise? British defence giant BAE Systems is working on a bunch of small tiny electronic spiders, insects and snakes which could eventually end up as the eyes and ears of soldiers on the battlefield, with the potential to negate the loss of life. Prototypes are tipped to be released at the end of the year, helping troops overcome booby traps with additional eyes thanks to

these robots. Each soldier is said to carry such robots into combat, where they will be used as the first line of reconnaisance. According to BAE Systems, these tiny robots won’t be too expensive to manufacture once they’re in full swing, retailing for approximately £100 ($197) each.
