Cebot
ItemCebots are miniature robots in Ghost in the Shell, each sitting in the centimeter class at roughly one to ten centimeters across. Born of nanotechnology yet far bigger than any nanomachine, a great many are styled to resemble insects.
Overview
Cebots belong to the centimeter class of robotics, generally measuring somewhere between one and ten centimeters across. Plenty of them are fashioned after insects. Although the technology grows out of nanotech research, these machines sit well above the scale where labels such as nanomachine or micromachine would apply.
Function
What sets a cebot apart is purely its size. Small enough to be mistaken for a bug, it is still far too large to count among the nanomachines and micromachines that share its nanotech origin. That in-between scale marks it as its own bracket of tiny machine.
