BEAM Wiki

BEAM robotics (Biology, s, Aesthetics, and Mechanics) is a style of  that primarily uses simple ue s, such as comparators, to produce an unusually efficient, robust, and  , compared to traditional microprocessor-controlled robots.

Many robots built in this style are -powered and controlled by a "nervous network".

The BEAM wiki discusses
 * the BEAM robotics style,
 * the robots produced with that style,
 * the mechanical and electrical components of those robots,
 * the tools used to put them together,
 * the people who design and build them, and
 * the behaviors of those robots after they are assembled.
