An embedded system is a computer system that is built into a device in order to control its functions, perform a specific task or set of tasks, or gather and analyze data. It is typically designed to operate within specific parameters and is often built using a microcontroller or microprocessor. Examples of embedded systems include smart home devices, traffic control systems, medical equipment, and automotive systems. These systems are often highly reliable and robust, and they are also often optimized for power efficiency and cost effectiveness.
