Desktop computers once ruled the computing universe in the distant past that most of us refer to as the early 1990s. But by the turn of the millennium, less than 10 years into their rule, desktops had ...

Senior Editor The simplest embedded systems center on microcontrollers running a single control loop. The loop may poll inputs or be interrupt driven, but as long as no other task ever requires ...

In 1999, senior research engineers at one of Detroit's “Big Three” automotive OEMs drew our attention to the shortage of graduating seniors fully prepared for careers in embedded systems engineering.

Analytics-driven embedded systems bring analytics to embedded applications, moving many of the functions found in cloud-based, big-data analytics to the source of data. This allows for more efficient ...

What do automation and embedded systems have in common? The short answer is more and more. The annual Embedded World trade fair, held every winter in Nuremberg, Germany, has become the world’s largest ...

Noun: Application-specific software and custom-integrated circuits specifically designed and implanted to generate commands that bring forth the best possible performance from the machine to which ...

Many people wonder if embedded systems and robotics are the same thing. While they work together, they have different jobs. Here is a guide to help understand the difference. An embedded system is a ...

As we covered last month, embedded motion control is operation-specific code targeted to microprocessors, FPGAs, and PLCs. As hardware becomes increasingly powerful, these controls do the same.

NATICK, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MathWorks today announced that SAIC Motor Corporation developed the hybrid control unit (HCU) for the Roewe 750 hybrid sedan by using Model-Based Design with Simulink, ...

Embedded control systems are increasingly connected to complex local area networks, such as controller area networks (CAN) with up to 100 nodes, ZigBee wireless control networks with thousands of ...

Students in our graduate certificate in Safety and Security of Autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems learn cyber-physical safety and security strategies arising from modern, advanced system control ...
