A microrobotic unit for propulsion movement and positioning in organic cavities comprises two spreadable modules and a pushing module which is located between them; and a supply connection at the rear spreadable module, which is used to supply a supply medium. Each spreadable module has at least one outer balloon envelope, which expands when the supply medium is supplied a surface structure is provided on the outside of the balloon envelope and causes the balloon element to be anchored in surrounding tissue. The pushing module has a bellows structure causing an axial expansion when the supply medium is supplied and an axial contraction when the supply medium is removed. The bellows structure has an outer support structure to prevent or limit a change in its dimensions in the radial direction. The axially extending support structure is in the form of a plurality of toggle lever structures arranged in a row.
