Due to its limited computing power, microbots are dedicated to quickly and accurately solving tasks that donīt require high processing power or complex algorithms.
Because of the microcontroller's smallness and portability, one of the chief characteristics of the microbot is its mobility.
Nowadays, thanks chiefly to wireless connections, like Wi-Fi (i.e. in domotic networks) the microbotīs processing capacity has risen, so it can memorize more data and complete more complex tasks.

Microbotics (or microrobotics) is the field of miniature robotics, in particular mobile robots with characteristic dimensions less than 1 mm.
Microbots were born thanks to the appearance of the microcontroller in the last decade of the 20th century, and the appearance of miniature mechanical systems on silicon (MEMS), although many microbots do not use silicon for mechanical components other than sensors.
Because of the microcontroller's smallness and portability, one of the chief characteristics of the microbot is its mobility.
