Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology (Volume - 1), edited by Mohit Bajpai and Dr. A.V. Sudhakara Reddy, presents six insightful chapters addressing innovations in embedded systems, smart energy monitoring, motor drive systems for electric vehicles, machine learning, and PLC automation. This volume includes detailed studies on ZSI-based motor drives for EVs, real-time data acquisition using reconfigurable embedded systems, the fundamentals of PLCs and ladder logic, and machine learning applications in engineering. It also covers smart energy metering and digital image de-noising using DWT and HWT techniques. With a strong emphasis on practical applications, modeling, and simulation-based analysis, this book serves as a critical academic resource for students, engineers, and researchers in embedded systems, electrical engineering, industrial automation, and AI-based control technologies.
