As a computer system embedded within mechanical or electrical systems with specialized functions and real-time computing capabilities, embedded systems are often used in consumer electronics, smart homes, industrial control, automation, transportation, healthcare, commerce, and military fields.
Smart Transportation
Embedded systems have been widely used in driving navigation, communication flow control, automotive services, information monitoring, and other fields. GPS positioning/navigation modules, GSM communication modules, etc., have long been widely used in the transportation industry. In addition, the aviation electronic devices used on aircraft, such as inertial navigation systems, GPS receivers, electrical/electronic motor controllers used in various motors, embedded systems increasingly used in fuel/new energy vehicles for energy conservation and emission reduction, as well as automotive safety systems, ABS anti lock systems, electronic stability control systems, traction control systems, etc., are all applications of embedded systems.
Telecommunication system
From switches to mobile terminals, embedded systems are widely used in the field of telecommunications systems.
Smart Home/Traditional Home Appliances
As an important component of the Internet of Things, embedded systems have also been extensively applied in the field of smart homes. The control systems of ordinary household appliances, such as microwaves, washing machines, dishwashers, lighting fixtures, temperature and humidity control, audio equipment, safety monitoring, etc., are widely used with embedded systems. These applications have brought better flexibility and efficiency to smart homes.
Consumer Electronics
Many consumer electronics products, such as mobile phones, DVD players, game consoles, cameras, printers, etc., have embedded system applications.
Medical equipment
Vital sign monitoring equipment, various medical imaging devices, electronic stethoscopes, and a large number of medical devices have embedded systems.
