Experts on cyber-physical systems

Cyber-physical systems are devices and infrastructure that integrate sensing, computation, control, and connectivity to increase precision, efficiency, and reliability. These smart systems promise to revolutionize many aspects of our world, from transportation, to healthcare, to the operation of the basic systems that support modern life, including utilities and communication. Among other areas, WPI’s experts on cyber-physical systems work on devices designed to improve medical care, smart robotic systems for everything from disaster response to space exploration, and autonomous vehicles.
