Visible to the public CPS: Synergy: Collaborative Research: Safe and Efficient Cyber-Physical Operation System for Construction Equipment

Submitted by CAnumba on Wed, 11/29/2017 - 4:20pm. Contributors:

Equipment operation represents one of the most dangerous tasks on a construction sites and accidents related to such operation often result in death and property damage on the construction site and the surrounding area. Such accidents can also cause considerable delays and disruption, and negatively impact the efficiency of operations. This Cyber Physical System (CPS) research project will conduct research to improve the safety and efficiency of cranes by integrating advances in robotics, computer vision, and construction management.

Visible to the public CPS: Medium: Security Certification of Autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems

Submitted by Yier Jin on Wed, 11/29/2017 - 4:20pm. Contributors:

Automation is being increasingly introduced into every man-made system. The thrust to achieve trustworthy autonomous systems, which can attain goals independently in the presence of significant uncertainties and for long periods of time without any human intervention, has always been enticing. Significant progress has been made in the avenues of both software and hardware for meeting these objectives. However, technological challenges still exist and particularly in terms of decision making under uncertainty.

Visible to the public Smart Power Systems of the Future: Foundations for Understanding Volatility and Improving Operational Reliability

Submitted by Sean Meyn on Mon, 02/01/2016 - 4:37am. Contributors:

Abstract:

GRID 2020: The power grid in the U.S. and many regions of the world is undergoing changes because of new technologies and government mandates. It is believed that smart meters and a smarter grid will lead to more efficient use of our infrastructure. In addition, increased renewable energy integration will provide power at low cost.

Submitted by Mirchandani on Fri, 01/29/2016 - 3:46pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

While driving on your favorite route to your destination, have you ever wondered why the technology you are seeing as far as traffic management is concerned is so antiquated? My answer to that is the people and organization that manage the traffic are not "cyber-physicists" and Google does not run our traffic lights.
