'''BEAM robotics'''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://robohub.org/robots-beam-robotics/|title=BEAM Robotics|access-date=2019-12-30|website=Robohub}}</ref> (from [[biology]], [[electronics]], [[aesthetics]] and [[mechanics]]) is a style of [[robotics]] that primarily uses simple [[Analogue electronics|analogue circuit]]s, such as [[comparator]]s, instead of a [[microprocessor]] in order to produce an unusually simple design. While not as flexible as microprocessor based robotics, BEAM robotics can be robust and efficient in performing the task for which it was designed.

BEAM robots may use a set of the analog circuits,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://solarbotics.net/library/circuits/default.htm|title=BEAM Reference Library -- BEAMbot Circuits|website=solarbotics.net|access-date=2019-12-30}}</ref> mimicking biological neurons, to facilitate the robot's response to its working environment.
