An embedded computer is a mini computer with a specific function
within a product that completes detailed tasks or jobs for that product.
Often times, individuals do not realize how many objects have embedded
computers enclosed in them. Some examples of embedded computers used in
households include, remote controls, heating pads, digital clocks,
washing machines, and microwaves. Others include Bluetooth capabilities
in cars, camera traffic lights, and Red Box machines. Surprisingly, a
pregnancy test is also considered a simple, yet complicated embedded
computer. [1]
Embedded computers are developed to do one particular duty, and
therefore a regular computer cannot act as an embedded computer.
