An inspection robot for inspecting gastrointestinal tracts or other lumen. The inspection robot is capable of locomotion and comprises: a body, a vibration actuator, and a plurality of resilient legs. The plurality of resilient legs are arranged to protrude outwardly and rearwardly from the body, with respect to a direction of locomotion. Each leg is coupled to the vibration actuator at a proximal end of the leg and the vibration actuator is operable to induce vibrations in a distal end of the leg, which serve, in use, to propel the body in the direction of locomotion by the distal end generating a pushing force against an external surface.
