What is programming robots mean?

It is the process of writing commands for a robot which will influence its future actions.Additional InformationRobotic devices are typically controlled by one or more microcontrollers. Microcontrollers are basically little computers, with Read Only Memory (ROM) and processor in a single package. The output of the microcontroller operates the servos and other devices of the robotic device.So basically, when you program a robot, you're just telling the microcontroller how to perform the functions that make the robot do its work.

What is the difference between CPLD and microcontroller?

Complex programmable logic device (CPLD) are programmable digital logic devices which are simpler and lesser capacity than FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) devices. CPLDs have a non-volatile memory (i.e. turning off the power does not require reprogramming of CPLD) Microcontrollers (uP or MCU) are small and cost effective but self contained computer chips (compared to general purpose processor chips used in personal computers) used for embedded applications in industrial, consumer electronics products and automobiles. Microcontrollers may or may not have inbuilt memory. CPLDs are used for implementing logic but they do not have a embedded processor like in microcontrollers. - Neeraj Sharma
