Robot
  A Web agent that visits sites to extract data from the site. It automatically traverses the Web's hypertext structure by retrieving a document, and recursively retrieving all documents that are referenced. Most commonly, data from robots is used to build the catalogs for search engines. Web robots are sometimes referred to as Web Wanderers, Web Crawlers, or Spiders. These names are a bit misleading as they give the impression the software itself moves between sites like a virus; this not the case, a robot simply "visits" sites by requesting documents from them.
