What is embedded microcontrollers?

Embedded microcontrollers are small, low-power computers designed to perform specific tasks within electronic systems. They are commonly used in a wide variety of applications such as consumer electronics (e.g., washing machines, remote controls), automotive systems (e.g., engine control, anti-lock braking), industrial automation (e.g., robotics, process control), and medical devices (e.g., pacemakers, glucose monitors).
