Autonomous devices often have operating systems that have no interface to users, these operating systems manage system resources and schedule tasks, several tasks had direct control over devices that the OS did not manage and what limited interaction these systems had with users was through those devices to those tasks. I can';t give more specific details than that.

The only problem is that an OS isn't an interface between hardware and user, it can be, but it doesn't have to be.

Example for such an OS? I can't think of one.

fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a 
free man any more than a dog.
