An embedded system is a computer system with higher quality and reliability require-ments than other types of computer systems. Some families of embedded devices have a very high threshold of quality and reliability requirements.
Embedded systems in robotics are the framework that allows electro-mechanical systems to be implemented into modern machines. The key aspects of this framework are C programming in embedded controllers, circuits for interfacing microcontrollers with sensors and actuators, and proper filtering and control of those hardware components.

An Embedded system is a device controlled by instructions stored on a chip. These devices are usually controlled by a microprocessor that executes the instructions stored on a Read Only Memory (ROM) chip. One of the most popular Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) is in use today is QNX (pronounced `queue nicks’).
