A PLC would be a pretty blunt instrument for robot design.
What kind of results did you get when you did your web search on "PLC" and "robot"?

Don't you know that a robot is a man-like machine made of steel. It has a square head and lightbulbs instead of the eyes. All the OP needs is to flash those lightbulbs; a PLC will work perfectly for that.

website they have a tutorial on PLC programming and interfacing. That might be a good start for you.
Plus, (and they don't pay me to say this), I have found they have some really good pricing on their DL-05 and DL-06 series. Though, I've only a handful of projects I actually used them on. Good luck. -mpm
