Study of Windowns XP Embedded on an embedded PC

In order to build fairly sophisticated robots that can parallel process/fuse multiple sensors input, capble of wireless communication with other robots and base station, capable of decision making by working through complicated algorithms and execute multiple output action simultaneously, the robot need a good ‘brain’ - an Embedded PC runs Componentized OS could be the solution.
