btw there and other Microcontrollers brands like atmel, motorolla, ST, etc... why it must be a PIC? it could be few atMegas...

Because PIC is the most popular, so much so it's become a generic name for a micro-controller - rather like vacuum cleaners and Hoover.
Right... it is the ubiquitous I think... iRobot uses PICs, PICs are onboard BS2s, heck there are probably PICs in lots of our appliances.

But again, I would be surprised if they used any number of MCUs on this robot... more likely a microprocessor or some sort.

Who made that robot? Could we ask them?

they probably reverse engineered a mountain goat also : )

I thought the whole "stealing a dog's brain" notion was a little far-fetched, but then I saw this:
