With user-friendly applications and ease of reprogramming, AVR micro controllers are abundant in the world of robot making. AVR robots are popular because of the efficiency and power of AVR’s, which makes the motor control of any moveable robot an easy function to achieve. Part of the power of AVR micro controllers is in the ability to control motors, from simple fans found in portable computers, to more advanced motor controls, like those found in robots. AVR micro controllers are found everywhere in modern day life, and this popularity is backed up by assurances of being very versatile as well as having a trusted company behind its developed. Atmel AVR’s are the building blocks of many home built robots. The building of robots has become a popular pastime and the ability to incorporate a good micro controller is an essential part of the process. Fortunately the Atmel AVR’s are easily obtainable and provide a lot of reliability when it comes to industry and personal projects. The Atmel AVR’s deliver good compatibility with a variety of systems and chips, and, working like an open source project, the chips themselves are easily customizable to the end user’s needs. It is this level of programmability that makes the AVR’s so popular. AVR robots are fully customizable and programmable through a simple connection to an AVR micro controller. Because the micro controller itself is programmable and writeable through a simple serial connection and driven by a software interface, there is a whole range of tools available to make the AVR do what it needs to do, in order to drive the robot. Most robot designs seen across the Internet will incorporate an AVR micro controller, which themselves are easily obtainable from stores across the Internet, such is their popularity. For more advanced systems, such powerful AVR’s find their way into industrial robots such as that for the motor industry. AVR chips come with the full use and advantages of flash memory. The AVR architecture has been developed from its early days to take advantage of flash memory, allowing it to be incorporated into the micro controller along with EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) and SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) too. All this means, is that the micro controller does not need to tap into external sources of memory to do its job, and it’s fast storage capacity, and simplified command structure makes it efficient while producing very high standards of performance. It is a low power usage system, and is fully scalable with other AVR applications and is easily upgradeable throughout its entire life span.
