Abstract: 
I describe a framework for developing mobile software
robots by using the Planet mobile object system, which is
characterized by language-neutral layered architecture,
the native code execution of mobile objects, and
asynchronous object passing.  Then I present an approach
to implementing mobile Web search robots that takes full
advantage of these characteristics, and we base our
discussion of its effectiveness on experiments conducted
in the Internet environment.
