After depicting the two largest robot types, here are the two smallest ones.
The worm-like one is the Vermis Vitae. They have a flexible trunk with inflatable sacs beneath that allow them to fit through small openings and grip objects around them for support. Their hind end has six small legs which allow the robot to lift itself out of openings quickly to move to the next task. The front end encloses tools for repair, maintenance, or cleaning. This one is welding.
GIDLRs are by far the smallest robots and by far the most aberrant. They didn't even get a fancy name, just an acronym. Unlike all other robots, they are radially symmetric and do not bear the others' coloration, instead being brightly colored and shiny for visibility (not sold on the Barbie coloration rn). They are primarily for the vital task of finding damaged parts and reporting them to the base AI to be addressed.
