Microrobots are the next-generation tools for civil and military purposes. Microrobot swarms can clean water by collecting poisonous chemicals from water. Microrobots can colect oil and platics. They can capture bacteria from wastewater.
In some models, the microrobot can carry a filter system. Those microrobots can be quadcopters that can operate airborne and underwater. The microrobots can filter the air the same way. They can pump polluted air through filters. And that can be useful at least in closed spaces like rooms.
The robot drives polluted water through that filter. The filter can separate microplastics from water. Or the robot can act like a pelican fish. And that allows them to open their "stomach" and collect that oil from water. The microrobots can also map sealife and magma eruptions. They can go to places that are too dangerous for humans.
Those systems can follow the whales and then map those animal's communication. The microrobots can slip into shipwrecks and even animals' stomachs. There, machines can research what those animals eat in the natural environment. And they can take samples from deep sea animal tissues.
In the world of intelligence and military. The micro drone swarms can operate in recon and attack roles. Microdrones can protect naval bases and all other important targets. In those cases, the microrobot swarms can wait at the bottom of the sea, and then they can deny the attempts to enter the base.
Microrobots can connect to the communication antennas and resend data transmission to the opponent. The microrobot can also hang a submarine's shell and send tracking signals. Micromachines can carry explosives or acoustic devices that can make small holes into the submarine's shell or damage its propellers. If the micromachine makes a centimeter hole in the submarine's hull at 500 m depth. Water pressure can break the shell.
The microrobot swarms can make the Status-6 nuclear torpedo look like a toy.
But the microrobots can act as devastating weapons. Underwater microrobots can carry plutonium and lithium-deuteride. When those drones get the order, they can drive themselves together. That thing forms a critical mass. And it can cause the ultimate destruction. The modular hydrogen bombs are machines that the microrobot swarms can turn into reality.
