Visible to the public Safety-Feature Modeling and Adaptive Resource Management for Mixed-Criticality Cyber-Physical Systems

Submitted by sokolsky on Sun, 01/31/2016 - 1:45am. Contributors:

Abstract:

This project is concerned with ensuring operational safety of complex cyber-physical systems such as automobiles, aircraft, and medical devices. Modern development techniques for such systems rely on independent implementation of safety features in software and subsequent integration of these features within system platform architectures. The current trend in developing these systems, driven by the need to reduce cost and energy consumption, is to share computational resources between different features.

Visible to the public Managing Uncertainty in the Design of Safety-Critical Aviation Systems

Submitted by pjseiler on Sun, 01/31/2016 - 1:22am. Contributors:

Abstract:

The objective of this research is to create tools to manage uncertainty in the design and certification process of safety-critical aviation systems. The research focuses on three innovative ideas to support this objective. First, probabilistic techniques will be introduced to specify system-level requirements and bound the performance of dynamical components.

Visible to the public Efficient Mapping and Management of Applications onto Cyber-Physical Systems

Submitted by martonosi on Sun, 01/31/2016 - 12:29am. Contributors:

Abstract:

The computing landscape is a richly-heterogeneous space including both fixed and mobile nodes with a large variety of sensing, actuation and computational capabilities (including mobile devices, home electronics, taxis, robotic drones, etc.). Cyber-physical applications built on these devices have the potential to gather data on, analyze, and adapt to or control a range of environments.

Visible to the public Cybernetic Interfaces for the Restoration of Human Movement through Functional Electrical Stimulation

Submitted by e-perreault on Sat, 01/30/2016 - 11:33pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a promising technology for activating muscles in spinal cord injured (SCI) patients. The objective of our project was to develop an intuitive user interface and control system that allows high-level tetraplegic patients to regain the use of their own arm.

Visible to the public CPS: Breakthrough: From Whole-Hand Tactile Imaging to Interactive Simulation

Submitted by yonvisell on Sat, 01/30/2016 - 10:57pm. Contributor:

Abstract:

This project aims to enable cyber-physical systems that can be worn on the body in order to one day allow their users to touch, feel, and manipulate computationally simulated three-dimensional objects or digital data in physically realistic ways, using the whole hand. It will do this by precisely measuring touch and movement-induced displacements of the skin in the hand, and by reproducing these signals interactively, via new technologies to be developed in the project.

Visible to the public CPS: Breakthrough: Secure Telerobotics

Submitted by chizeck on Fri, 01/29/2016 - 5:06pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

Telerobotic systems are cyber-physical systems where human operators and robots exchange information using a combination of publicly available communication networks and temporary ad-hoc wireless and satellite networks.

Visible to the public MIDAS: A Cyber Physical System for Proactive Traffic Management to Enhance Mobility and Sustainability

Submitted by Mirchandani on Fri, 01/29/2016 - 4:46pm. 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.

Visible to the public A Novel Biomechatronic Interface Based on Wearable Dynamic Imaging Sensors

Submitted by ssikdar on Fri, 01/29/2016 - 4:38pm. Contributors:

Abstract:

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.
