Robot - A program used by a search engine to crawl the web in order to find, rank, and index new web pages. The robot follows links and collects the information it finds at the end of each link. Search engines send these crawlers out periodically to add information to their search databases.
In a different context (no search engines), it is also used to indicate a software which visits web sites and collects email addresses to be used for sending unsolicited bulk email.
