What is the micro robot?

Micro robot is a robot less than a millimeter, although this term is also incorrectly applied to all small robots, even larger than a millimeter. Even smaller devices known as Nano robots have less than nanometer. Potential applications for such technology are diverse and are developed in private companies and government agencies interested in robotics. Robot enthusiasts can also build their own if they have access to devices that allow them to work on an efficiently microscopic scale. The extremely small size limits the type of technology that the creator can use. The controllers must be very small, relying on nanotechnology to work in some cases, and the robot also needs extremely small and highly efficient power. The development of small technologies is interesting for micro robot developers as well as for companies working on small mobile equipment and other equipment that must have a limited size and weight.

In some cases, micro robots can assemble themselves or each other and can be programmed to work in the swarms. Robot swarms can perform activities such as the design or diagnosis of circuit plates, repairs of equipment in small electrical equipment, etc. There are also biomedical applications. It may be possible to use a swarm of micro robots to perform extremely small surgical repairs or to collect data such as images without having to open the patient.

For government agencies, there are some potential security applications for micro robot technology. Thanks to their small size, they make the potential inserting device to collect confidential information and can also be transmitted by government staff in the field. Some agencies develop robots for penetration of devices such as prison camps and potentially distribute information to prisoners. The possibilities of such technology are considerable, especially when it falls into nanometers and can turnrhodni a device that can be hidden inside human bodies.

numerous universities and universities have robotic programs, some of which include research into micro robots and nanoparticles. These institutions regularly carry out competitions and events that allow inventors to demonstrate their latest inventions and exchange information about this area. These events are usually limited to public civilian technologies and do not include business or military micro robots in the development of corporate or military micro robots, as information behind this device may be ownership for security or business reasons.
