Is it advisable to use a separate micro-controller for servo motor controller of a robot rather than using only one micro-controller for the whole system and why?

Yes, most MCU's can not multi task it can run only one program at a time, so if you run a stepperor servo motor from one MCU it will slow down the whole program so, if you have send the command from the main MCU to the other one that is controlling the stepper or servo the main MCU can go on doing other things while the stepper MCU can take its time taking the stepper motor thru its paces If you have to run more than one stepper and using only one MCU, the MCU will have to drive the one stepper with one pulse and then the next stepper, you don't need a large MCU to drive a stepper only 4 bits is needed a 8 pin PIC like the PIC12F675 is all you need, GP0 to GP3 can drive the stepper while the chip can receive commands on GP5 that is a input pin only ,then you still have GP4 spare to drive a LED or a relay or you can use it as a DTR to send an interrupt to the main MCU and tell it that its done with the last command and ready for the next.
A string of commands can be received by the 12F675 in serie on one pin and be stored in onboard EEPROM for use as needed

Can you mill red hot glowing steel?
No machining is advisable when material to be machined is red hot rather it can be forged, extruded. Primary machining only is normally advisable when material is red hot.
Why ore of copper is not concentrated by hydraulic washing?
Copper ore, usually in the form of malachite, needs to be refined through a chemical reaction, rather than a mechanical separation as with washing. It needs to be ground and heated to separate out the copper metal from the compound.
How is commingled recycled material separated?
Fully commingled, or single-sort, recycling is the system in which papers fibers, metals, and plastics are mixed in a collection trunk rather than being separated into separate commodities. This method is designed so that commingled materials can be handled all at once. Later, the materials will be separated at a materials recovery facility.
Where is the dialog box on your desktop?
A task pane is a dialog box that is presented inside a window pane rather than a separate window. Dialog box is a secondary window that appears when the system needs input from the user to carry on with a particular process such as: during installation of software sometimes system prompts you whether to run the program or not and a window is opened on the screen.

Why do you think the trend is to put more control such as the graphics controller and the memory controller in the processor rather than in the chipset?
People are more likely to put in a graphics controller and memory controller into their computers because it is cheaper and easier than adding things to the chip set.
