    2.  Bio-Inspired Microbots: These  microbots  are  designed  to
                                                           mimic the movements of living creatures. In medicine, they
                                                           can be used to deliver drugs directly to a specific part of the
                                                           body or even assist in surgeries. This makes them incredibly
                                                           useful for tasks that require great accuracy and care.

                     Some advantages of microbots are:
                        Precision: They are designed for accurate tasks.

                        Versatility: They can be used in medicine, environmental monitoring and more.

                        Cost-Effective: Their small size makes them less expensive to manufacture.

                     Insectbots: Small Robots Inspired by Insects

                     Insectbots are small robots designed to move and act like insects. They are lightweight and can
                     easily  navigate  through tight  spaces,  making  them very useful for  tasks  where  larger  robots
                     would struggle. These robots are inspired by the way insects move, whether by crawling, flying or
                     climbing.

                     Some examples of insectbots are:
                     1.  RoboFly: This robot is designed to mimic the movement of a
                        fly. It can fly freely, just like a real fly and is capable of flying

                        through tight spaces or around obstacles.

                                                      2.  DelFly: DelFly  is  inspired  by  a dragonfly and can navigate
                                                          complex environments with ease. It can fly, hover, and glide,
                                                          making  it  useful  for exploring  difficult-to-reach  areas  and
                                                          conducting aerial surveillance or inspection tasks.

                     3.  Harvard RoboBee: The RoboBee is a tiny flying robot inspired
                        by bees. It is used in tasks like artificial pollination, which is
                        important  for  agriculture. Its small size  and flight abilities
                        make it ideal for performing tasks that require high precision
                        and control.

                     Some advantages of insectbots are:

                        Adaptability: They can crawl, fly or climb, making them suitable for many environments.
                        Energy efficient: They use less power than larger robots.
                        Small size: Their small size allows them to work in places larger robots can’t reach.

                                                                                           Robot as a System
                                                                                                                        45
