Cyber-Physical Systems: Applications, Challenges, and Research Directions

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are intelligent robotics systems that cleverly merge computing algorithms with physical operations, enabling state-of-the-art response systems by integrating the virtual and physical dimensions and enhancing efficiency, automation, and interconnectedness in many sectors. With examples of real-world implementation, this new book explores many facets of CPS in robotics and engineering and presents a host of cutting-edge technologies and approaches in industrial applications as well as in other sectors, such transportation, gaming, medicine and healthcare, civil engineering and infrastructure, communications and internet security, library science, election integrity, music, etc., providing inspiration for new ideas for CPS applications.
