Embedded Systems and Robotics with Open Source Tools

This book offers an integrated approach, combining theory, simulation using computer tools and experimental practice using hardware. Each chapter includes the following components: A brief theory that describes the underlying mathematics and principles, a problem-solving section with a set of typical problems, a computer laboratory with programming examples and exercises in MATLAB and Simulink and finally, when applicable, a hardware laboratory with exercises using test and measurement equipment. The text not only covers fundamentals like frequency and bandwidth, but also highlights current and future technologies.
