To accomplish tasks, they need both a well-designed body and a “brain,” or controller. But there are few ways to optimize a robot’s design at the same time. Unless the designer is an algorithm. Because it is 2D and the program is simply designed, it doesn’t need much computational power. The same is true for robots.
