[Starwars] Why are Battle Droids so stupid?

Why are the drones so stupid, I could understand if they had a basic sentience, as this would help during battle, if plans needed to change, but they seem overly clumsy and foolish. I've been watching that animated series Starwars: The Clone Wars (not sure if it's canon?) and the drones often do more harm than good. Why are they so foolish?

Apologies if this has already been asked!

The short, short answer is that they're made cheaply and weren't actually meant to win.

Basically, most Battle Droids only need to point at enemies and shoot. They're not fantastically trained, they basically win through numbers. But Palpatine never planned on the CIS winning. His endgame was a Republic Victory with him as Emperor.
