The cost of embedded computers can vary widely depending on their complexity and application. Basic embedded systems can start as low as $5 to $50 for simple microcontrollers, while more advanced systems with specialized processors, memory, and interfaces can range from $100 to several thousand dollars. Factors influencing the price include processing power, memory size, additional components, and the scale of production. Additionally, custom-designed embedded solutions may incur higher costs due to development and manufacturing expenses.
Embedded computers
Robots contain one or more embedded computers.
microcomputers
Based on the size and use, computers can be categorized into seven types. They are embedded computers, super computers, main frame computers, servers, game consoles, mobile computers and personal computers.
Embedded Computers are in cars, thermostates basically everything.
