No need to be excused for any noob-iness if you have a genuine question

As you can imagine, the N900 runs the programming to activate the servos (motorised joints for each limb). If you click on the link you will see that that the robot also has a printed circuit board (PCB) that the servos connect to as a an interface to distribute each command sent from the n900. Hence the need for the cable attached.

The circuit board also has has an external power supply attached using LiPo battery to feed the juice to the servos.

Hope this helps?
