Spiders, robots and crawlers are all the same but mentioned by different set of names. The search engine uses these as to read a particular webpage everyday which in turn depicts in the SERP. Also implementing sitemap.xml helps these crawlers to go through your website on a daily basis with the required set of frequency depicted in them

Spiders is a name for the robots or crawlers that scan web and save the information in websites to a database. Hence, "Google spiders" is another name for "Google indexing bots". Spider - a browser like program that downloads web pages.

The Robots exclusion protocol (REP), or robots.txt is a text file webmasters create to instruct robots (typically search engine robots) how to crawl and index pages on their website.

Crawler – a program that automatically follows all of the links on each web page
