Brain of the Robots
Robots can be built without a brain, such as those robots operated by a human via remote control. Robots can also be built with distributed brains, were simpler chips handle individual parts (such as a leg or an arm) without knowing anything about what the rest of the body is doing. Or, robots can even be built with the brains located away from the body, such as on a laptop computer.
But, all in all, the top choice for robot brains is the microcontroller chip (see Figure).
Microcontrollers are very similar to microprocessors, which are found in personal computers.
A microcontroller differs in that it is almost like an entire tiny computer merged into a single piece.
Microcontrollers have small amounts of memory and storage space built directly into the chip. Where the PC microprocessor dedicates its pins to high-speed memory, a microcontroller has a diverse variety of input and output pins. These pins can connect directly to sensors, buttons, and other odd devices.
Unsung heroes, microcontrollers surround us, yet few people know about them. Microcontrollers are in automobiles, household washers, dryers, VCRs, and other appliances. The multi-billion-dollar market for microcontrollers makes them inexpensive and plentiful.
With the use of microcontrollers we can design a multi tasking robots.
I hope after reading this you must have planned a best robot for you and our society. So stay connected, plan your robot and feel free to ask any question through comments.
See you soon.....
