U.S. Air Forces Europe is considering adding "throwable robots," which can scour a room or outdoor area and confirm whether there are people around, to its inventory.
In a solicitation for information posted on the government's acquisition and awards website beta.sam.gov last week, the service is asking defense and technology companies for their ideas on "throwable reconnaissance micro-robots."
Each device would weigh roughly one pound, light enough that troops could fling it into a room and then control it with a handheld device, according to the solicitation.
