What is an Embedded System?

An embedded system is like a mini computer that is built into a device to help it do a specific job. Imagine you have a microwave oven. Inside, there’s a tiny system that makes sure the microwave heats your food for just the right amount of time. That tiny system is an embedded system!

These systems can be found in everyday things like washing machines, cars, or even toys. They work behind the scenes, doing one important job over and over again, so the device works perfectly. They are small and don’t need as much power as regular computers.

The best part is that we use embedded systems all the time without even knowing it. They make our gadgets and machines smarter, faster, and easier to use, making our lives more comfortable. Isn’t that cool?
