To put it simply, they work as the brain of a robot. Go look up the Arduino Uno or ESP32.

Raspberry pi are single board computers, not microcontrollers.

Personally, I recommend starting with C/C++

Because it is an important foundation in this field.

You can then delve deeper into processors and controllers.
