Robot Spiders that can be controlled with flick of the wrist
Watch the robot spider army than can be controlled with a flick of the wrist: Intel shows off button sized computer system
Firm previously revealed smart cocktail dress that can repel people
Is also developing wrist mounted drones
Intel also showed off button sized computer and wrist mounted drone
The robots are controlled by a wristband containing Intel's Curie computer the size of a button.
Lowering his hand caused to robots to 'sleep'.

ntel has shown of a terrifying glimpse of the future - a swarm of robot spiders that can be controlled with a flick of the wrist.
At the chip giant's developers forum in China, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich revealed the demonstration to show off the firm's button sized computed and controller wristband.
He was able to cause lights on the robots to change shape, and control their movement from the bans.
The robots were powered by Curie, a computer the size of a button developed by Intel.

It is not Intel's first move into arachnid-based systems.
Earlier this year the chip giant showed off a tablet that can use hand gestures to scroll a recipe, drones that can manoeuvre an obstacle course without human intervention and even smart clothing that can help the visually impaired navigate safely - and a smart cocktail dress that can repel people who invade the wearer's space.
Intel CEO Brian Krzanich also used the keynote at the Consumer Electronics show in Las Vegas to show off the company's RealSense technology for seeing and understanding depth.
'The rise of new personal computing experiences, intelligent and connected devices, and the wearable revolution are redefining the relationship between consumers and technology,' he said.
Intel also showed off experimental designer Anouk Wipprecht's latest Spider Dress.
'Fashion and tech are merging at the moment, beyond blinking dresses or cute skirts, she said.
'I'm showing how fashion can be thought provoking, something that pushes people to think and share their feelings.

'Spider Dress acts as the interface between the body and the external world,' said Wipprecht.
'It uses technology and the garment as a medium of interaction.'
The so-called animatronic arachnid limbs on the Spider Dress know exactly when someone is invading the wearer's personal space.
