This book is a technical guide to fundamentals of embedded systems and robotics, and their application to practical problems. The book hosts the concepts of different elements related to the amalgamation of embedded system and robotics before tackling the physics of robotic systems.

This book is the ABC of embedded system and robotics: A for acquiring the concepts, B for building robotic systems, and C for creating solutions.

It is appropriate for undergraduate and post-graduate students of electronics and electrical engineering, robotics engineering, computer science and engineering, mechanical engineering, and allied disciplines. Specifically, it will act as a guide for students doing robotics projects in their final semesters.
