Our world is characterised by the ever-increasing number of digital systems and intelligent sensors which have inbuilt or 'embedded' computers. Embedded systems are computers with specialised input/output devices that may or may not be programmed by the end user. Some embedded systems can connect to the internet and access all its information; typical examples are smartphones, assistive technology such as smart hospital beds and wheelchairs, intelligent or smart parts of robots, and digital control systems of industrial equipment.
