Turtles are essentially robots, and were added in the 1.3 update. They run an OS (like the consoles) named TurtleOS. They have the ability to place, break and detect blocks, move around and drop items in their inventory. The programs they run are stored on it's internal memory or floppy disks.
Turtles are submersible and lavaproof. As such, they are extremely useful for mining near bedrock, where heavy lava flows can prevent access to diamonds and other rare finds.
If you would like to know more about how to program them, have a look at the Turtle API.
Floppy Disks
Turtles do not have a built-in floppy drive. As such they need a floppy drive placed beside them to access disks. However if the turtle is a Wireless turtle, the floppy drive and other peripherals must be placed on a side other than the side the wireless modem is on.
Power source
Hardcore(default and added in 1.4): Turtles runs on fuel. Fuel is any item that works in a regular furnace, like coal and lava. The turtle gains 0.6 movement per half second the fuel would have burnt in a furnace. The turtle can move 1 block for each fuel count it got, for example, coal yields 96 block movements.
Non Hardcore: Turtles have been equipped with a redstone engine, they do not need to be re-charged, or any other form of external power. This is because redstone continuously emits low levels of energy, and the turtle's engine is very efficient.
Farming
Turtles equipped with a hoe can till dirt.
Mining
Turtles crafted with a diamond pickaxe, diamond axe, diamond shovel, can break blocks. The tools equipped on the turtle have no durability, and so can be used indefinitely without the need for any additional materials. When a turtle breaks the block it gets the item directly into its inventory. Different tools yields different drop, for example, an axe can break anything, but it won't get ores.
Crafting
Turtles equipped with a workbench can craft items. When crafting the upper left 3x3 part of the turtles inventory can only contain the items needed for the recipe.
Melee
Turtles equipped with a sword can attack players and mobs. When a turtle kills a mob it will leave the experience orbs on the ground, but add the loot to it's inventory. Turtles can also attack with any tool, where axe is the second best after the sword.
