Robot Controllers

Robot controllers provide the processing hub for mobile and fixed‑base machines, handling sensor input, motion planning and actuator output in a single board. They typically embed an AVR or similar microcontroller with Arduino‑compatible firmware, allowing code reuse and rapid development while offering enough flash and RAM for modest control loops. Integrated motor‑drive channels reduce wiring complexity and improve reliability, making them well suited to small‑scale robots, educational kits and hobby projects that need precise speed and direction control. Many units include a bridge to a Raspberry Pi, giving access to higher‑level vision or networking tasks without sacrificing real‑time responsiveness. Compatibility with standard pin layouts, robust power handling and straightforward solder‑free stacking enable easy integration into diverse robotics and automation designs.
