Research in Design of Cyber-Physical Systems
Overview
In this area, the focus is on the design of advanced cyber-physical frameworks to
support distributed collaboration involving cyber and physical resources linked through
next generation networking principles. One of the research thrusts deal with investigating
the role of Virtual/Augmented based ‘virtual worlds’ which can serve as integration
links between cyber and physical resources and as foundations for ‘digital twin’ type
of models where downstream physical activities can be studied, modified and validated
virtually. We are exploring the process of designing such frameworks as well building
such frameworks for several domains: advanced manufacturing, healthcare and space
systems. Our interests in CPS are strongly intertwined with our work involving IoT
based approaches; we are collaborating with researchers at the University of Oregon
and the University of Wisconsin at Madison to explore such next generation collaborative
frameworks.
