Most likely, robots in the "real world" are using a processor closer to what we have in the robot controller than a Pentium 4. Very few appications outside of the personal computer make use of Pentium chips, because they are too powerful (and therefore too complex and costly) for the job at hand. The Mars rovers are a perfect example. They do all sorts of complicated things, and it's all controlled by a 20MHz RS/6000 derivative.
