The robot Brain

• Most robots have a computer or micro-controller to perform the instructions from the program
• The ‘brain’ could just be a simple circuit, without a central processing unit (CPU)

• Common microcontrollers include:

  • BBC micro:bit
  • Raspberry Pi Pico
  • Arduino Uno
  • NodeMCU (ESP8266)
