 INTRODUCTION

EMBEDDED SYSTEMS & ROBOTICS

“Explore for the Realms of Possibility’’
Think of a human being in whom body works like a HARDWARE and brain as SOFTWARE!!
This very question heated up mind of embedded engineer….
Our brain simulates our senses and provides a command to perform a specific task. So, Embedded
System can be explained as a combination of hardware and software which is designed to perform a
specific task at specific time. It brings knowledge of Electronics Engineer, electrical engineering and
computer engineering together. So both the things are necessary for proper functioning. So this is
about how to get into the field of Embedded Systems & Robotics and make it as a career option.

WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS TRAINING COURSE?

“Because Possibilities are Infinite’’
There are number of applications of Embedded Systems in transport, cars, offices, homes, etc.
lead to plenty of projects in a line, and hence require a lot of talented Minds.
So, it’s a smart option to choose it as a career option but before going into it, there are some
prerequisites, as embedded system is a combination of almost all the technologies like digital
electronics, mobile computing, software programming, real time computing, etc.
Around the globe, institutes like MIT, University of Cambridge, and Stanford provide undergraduate
and post graduate courses on Embedded System. In India also IITs, NITs, and IIITs provide post-
graduation courses for the same. Certification courses of short duration on Embedded Systems and
Robotics are also provided by institutes like TechieNest Pvt. Ltd., Shastra University etc.
