The artificial scarab beetle can be the robot of tomorrow

The artificial scarab beetle, what uses dung in the nano technical fuel cells can be the robot of tomorrow. The small size robots have problems with energy production and the thing in those robots is that the small size would make special requirements for the power sources, and the problem is the long term use of those nano bugs in the field. One of the most promising solutions for the power source of the nanobots is the fuel-cell, what can get the methane from the dung, what the robot can find independently.

Of course, the plutonium batteries are an effective solution,  but things like radioactive material would make them impossible to use because if the radioactive material would get in the wrong hands, the radioactive material would be used in the "dirty bombs" or they can transform to the bullets, what can be very disastrous. Anyway, the plutonium batteries might be used in nanorobots, what will send to research the surface of the planets like Venus and Mars.

Those extreme small robots could communicate with the command center by using the normal probes and robot cars as the relay station, and those maybe beetle-sized robots would send to search places like caves and places, what is too small for the normal robot cars. And the probes of tomorrow would have tens of miniaturized sub-robots, what they are carrying. In some scenarios to the atmosphere of the Venus and Titan would drop the swarm of the robot insects, what can form the flexible entirety, what can operate independently, because the artificial intelligence can control every particle in the swarm.

Even if, the computing capacity of the single nano bug would be limited, those nano bugs can communicate together by using a WLAN connection, and that allows them to make the entirety where the tiny computers can operate as one large computer. That artificial swarm of insects can drop to the atmosphere by using a rocket, and because the robot bugs can operate also independently, that swarm can travel across the atmosphere and search interesting objects on that strange world.

And because those robot beetles can operate also separately, that swarm can lose a couple of its members, and that would not mean that the mission will be risked. If there would be only one probe, the accidents like impacting the surface would cause the loss of the probe. Those nano bugs can use tiny plutonium batteries for their energy supply, and that allows them to operate even years in the atmosphere of the worlds like Titan moon of the Saturn.

But on the Earth, those small-sized robots can go to the hands of the persons, who would be dangerous, if they have plutonium batteries in their hands. And the swarms of the robot insects are planned to use in the war on terrorism. Those robots can be dropped from the aircraft, or send by using missiles to the operational area, but their problem is the short operational time of the nanobots, which uses conventional batteries.

Those nanobots can communicate with aircraft and satellites if they have electric power, and they can search the targets for aircraft, or those nanorobots can inject ricin to the targeted people. The power source of those nano bugs can be the fuel cells, which can use methane for giving electricity in the nanosized fuel cells, and the methane can get from the dung. The dung would create methane gas when it would get in the anaerobic conditions and the small size robots can use nano technically produced fuel cells for creating the electric power to their operational systems.
