Abstract:
The goal of this project is to integrate digital microfluidics systems with thin-film photodetectors in the top plate to realize biochemical target sensing using fluorescence. System control, adaptation, and reconfiguration through software will lead to a general-purpose lab-on-chip computing platform, in the same way as programmable computing devices allow multifunctional capabilities via software on a hardware platform.

The problem of controlling biomechatronic systems, such as multiarticulating prosthetic hands, involves unique challenges in the science and engineering of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), requiring integration between computational systems for recognizing human functional activity and intent and controlling prosthetic devices to interact with the physical world. Research on this problem has been limited by the difficulties in noninvasively acquiring robust biosignals that allow intuitive and reliable control of multiple degrees of freedom (DoF).

Abstract:
Networks of autonomous coordinated robots areprototypical examples of cyber-physical systems. Already today and increasingly in the near future, robotic systems will perform a broad range of environmental monitoring and logistic tasks. Aquatic robots will monitor oceanic life and conditions. Teams of vehicles will perform exploration, firefighting and search and rescue operations.

Abstract:
Human users are integral to the operation of safety--critical CPS. The goal of this project is to model and analyze the actions of human users along with possible mistakes that may appear in these interactions. We seek to develop approaches that will help us understand the effect of human operator mistakes on the overall system correctness. Our focus is on medical infusion pumps used to deliver drugs to patients.

Abstract:
Our overarching goal is to develop a framework for design automation of cyber-physical systems that augment human-in-the-loop inference and interaction by complex systems operating at the interface of computation and physical environment.

Abstract:
Many practical barriers continue to exist for a blind individual who strives to live an independent and active life, despite decades of development of assistive technologies. This project addresses the following two most prominent challenges: (1) disparity in information-sharing among people with visual impairment and its limited understanding by the research community; and (2) lack of methods and tools for effectively addressing the disparity.

Abstract:
Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the US with approximately 7 million stroke survivors living in the US today and for patients with neurological disorders, it has been shown that limited gait velocity commonly results in walking that is predominantly restricted to the household. Unlike traditional exoskeletons, which contain rigid linkage elements, the vision for this work is for exosuits that use soft materials such as textiles to provide a more conformal, unobtrusive and compliant means to interface to the human body.

Abstract:
Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in collaboration with physicians and nurses from Intensive Care Unit, Carle Foundation Hospital are developing a new initiative on engineering next generation of medical systems. This project is part of the initiative and focuses on exploring the efficient and safe operation of integrated Emergency Cyber Physical Human (ECPH) systems in emergency scenarios from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) environment. The key requirements are:

Abstract:
This project's overall objective is to enable assertion-driven development and debugging of cyberphysical systems (CPS). As opposed to traditional uses of assertions in software engineering, CPS demand a tight coupling of the cyber with the physical, especially to aid system validation. This project will show how physical system models can be used to create and apply assertions to help produce methods and tools that will facilitate verification and validation of cyberphysical systems.In the first year of this project, an emp

Abstract:
With the increasing popularity of mobile computing, cyber physical systems are merging into major mobile systems of our society, such as public transportation, supply chain systems, health and wellness, and taxi networks. Mobile CPSs interact with phenomena of interest at different locations and environments, and where the context information (e.g., network availability and connectivity) about these physical locations might not be available.
