Swarm tech to explore cavern entrances?

This is the kind of technology that I have envisioned for decades to be used to explore cavern areas. Notice especially the micro quadcopter for delivery, of which a swarm of those could be themselves used to do the bulk of the exploration:

Researchers at the Beihang University in Beijing have invented a 2-centimeter-long microbot with ultrafast untethered running speeds.

The research results were published in a study titled "A Wireless Controlled Robotic Insect with Ultrafast Untethered Running Speeds" in journal Nature Communications. Resembling a bug, this innovative robot has the potential for future applications in emergency rescue and mechanical inspection.

I'm sure that they will be useful for underground cave and tunnel warfare, too.
