Summary

An embedded system is a computer system designed to perform specific tasks or functions within a larger device or machine. It is like a brain inside another device, controlling and managing its operations. These systems are often hidden from users and work behind the scenes to make everyday devices smarter and more efficient. 

Examples of embedded systems include the microcontrollers in smartphones, the computer chips in washing machines, or the controllers in gaming consoles. They are essential in making many devices we use daily work seamlessly and effectively.
