Development often involves working with custom printed circuit boards, microcontrollers, or a system with reduced compute resources aimed at a specific task rather than general use. Embedded design is important in industries like robotics, aviation, and any application where a general operating system is either overkill or undesirable in the name of efficiency.</p>
