Differences Between Embedded Systems and IoT
Embedded systems are specialized computing systems built for specific tasks (e.g. traffic lights, elevators), while IoT (Internet of Things) is a network of physical devices connected to the internet (e.g. smart home devices, wearables).
Situations Where IoT and Embedded Systems Are Used
- Smart homes: automated lighting, temperature control, security systems.
- Industrial automation: monitoring and control of industrial processes.
How IoT, Embedded Systems and Cloud Computing Work Together
- IoT devices collect data from sensors.
- Embedded systems process the data and perform actions.
- Cloud computing stores and analyzes the data for further insights.
