robots

A robot is a mechanical or virtual agent, usually an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry. Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous and range from humanoids such as Honda's Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility (ASIMO) and TOSY's TOSY Ping Pong Playing Robot (TOPIO) to industrial robots, collectively programmed 'swarm' robots, and even microscopic nano robots.
 
Robots is a catch all term for programs and automated scripts that crawl through the web and collect data from websites and anything else on the Internet that they can find. It is great when search engines frequently visit your site and index your content but often there are cases when indexing parts of your online content is not what you want.
