Cyber physical systems (CPS) are composed of the interaction of two fundamental elements: the physical systems that perform some process or function of interest, and the digital twins that model their behavior.
The interaction occurs through the exchange of data between the two parties. The mission of the CPS is to maximize the performance of these systems: optimize performance, reduce waste, ensure safety. There are major challenges for the implementation of CPS. The Cyber-Physical Systems research group develops cutting-edge techniques in disciplines such as precision design, artificial intelligence, advanced control, robotics, additive manufacturing and advanced computational modeling, in the solution of the major technological challenges that prevent the realization of CPS: digitization of systems, development of digital twins and the synchronization of physical systems with the data they generate.
The research products of this group are applied in fields such as Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0, Robotics, Prosthetics development, and Neuroengineering.
