Washington, May 3 (ANI): A new scientific project aims to design teams of bio-inspired micro robots, that could one day monitor terrorists or search for victims at disaster sites.

According to a report in Discovery News, the machines would be designed after robots depicted in the movie ‘Minority Report’.

“Minority Report was probably one of the inspirations for this project,” said William Devine of BAE Systems, the major partner in the project, known as the Micro Autonomous Systems and Technology (MAST) Collaborative Technology Alliance.
