I'm using windows7. I'm doing a robotic project in which a robot has to take
instruction from images which are taken by camera.
image consists of characters like 'START', 'STOP' etc.

You bet.


Really? How would he go about that?
I've not seen (or even heard of) Python used in that role before.

That depends a lot on the environment. What OS will you be using?
What are you doing exactly? Are you actually reading the characters
optically or are you taking a feed from an OCR device? Are you
processing a scanned image?


If yes what are the tool require for that?.


It depends on the above indformation.

My another doubt is that, can i use python for programming 
microcontrollers


Not normally, but if you can find a program that can program
the microcontroller you might be able to drive it from Python.
Or if the micro has an interface that can be driven from, for example,
a serial port you may be able to do something.

We can't give specific answers without a lot more specific 
information.

Needs some training though, based upon tesseract engine.
