Abstract
In light of recent developments within both health care and robotics, the use of robots within the human body has become attainable. Here we discuss the milestones for the realization of autonomous microrobots in medical applications. The desired tasks were classified by identifying the difficulties and requirements faced by the robot. In addition, we classified the levels of autonomy seen in microrobots for these uses. The aim of this article is to provide readers with a good understanding of the current state and future possibilities in this field.
