A review.Microbots can revolutionize various fields of science and technol. with applications that require access to confined environments.These microbots could allow engine inspections without disassembly, repair satellite computer boards, assess pollution in confined spaces, and perform surgical procedures in hard-to-reach areas in the human body.However, manufacturing, power supplies, and control of microbots for real-world applications are still significant challenges.More investigations are necessary to develop functional microbots that collect essential information from uncertain environments or disaster areas, in which microbots can manipulate objects and modify the environment.Herein, we present the recent advances in bioinspired walking microrobots, including their design, manufacturing process, and control.In addition, comparisons of the main parameters of various microbots and their potential applications are incorporated.Also, we report the potential challenges of the bioinspired walking microrobots regarding their autonomy systems, manipulation capabilities, reconfigurable systems, and collaborative work.This review can help understand the performance and manufacturing processes of future bioinspired microbots that may access complex terrains or hazardous environments.
