Cyber-Physical Systems

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) allow the interaction between two worlds, machines and the internet, by means of a computer-based algorithm tightly coupled with the user. They are typically highly complex and distributed systems. Embedded systems collect and process data (e.g., sensor data) and control the CPS’s mechanic components. Cyber-Physical Systems can be used in a wide range of applications, e.g., aerospace, manufacturing, automotive, chemistry, medicine, entertainment, and energy systems.
