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.
Again, I agree..I just meant to say a faster processor and more memory than the current PIC processor. The Pentium 4 was a bad example. I'm sure every year, the robot controller will continue to be upgraded. Microprocessors are getting cheaper all the time.
