Question

Computers of the Future-Embedded computers keep turning up in new places. They can be found in cars, household appliances, smoke detectors, and thermostats too, enabling us to interact with even more of these “smart” devices every day. What common objects do you think might benefit from an embedded computer? What capabilities can you envision?

Answer 1

ans................................................................

i) An embedded system is a combination of computer hardware and software, either fixed in capability or programmable, designed for a specific function or functions within a larger system. Industrial machines, agricultural and process industry devices, automobiles, medical equipment, cameras, household appliances, airplanes, vending machines and toys, as well as mobile devices, are possible locations for an embedded system.
ii) Embedded systems are computing systems, but they can range from having no user interface (UI) -- for example, on devices in which the system is designed to perform a single task -- to complex graphical user interfaces (GUIs), such as in mobile devices. User interfaces can include buttons, LEDs, touchscreen sensing and more. Some systems use remote user interfaces as well.

iii) Embedded computers provide artificial intelligence that helps individuals to take better and informed decisions. It makes the embedded computers to be the part of all those objects that are required to process complex data and give output that can be interpreted by the human beings. In this regard, the example of common objects are health care devices, electronic gadgets and games that requires the artificial intelligence. Hence, these objects are benefitted by enhancing the capabilities.
iv) It provides capabilities in the form of reducing the level of complexities involved since the bulk of the whole internet circuit can be found in one small chip which is always small,it is easy to control and they give an added advantage here by controlling even the complex machines,it reduces the time taken by half.
