Here is my invited talk about Cyber-Physical Systems challenges, for iSCI2020 in Guangzhou, China. It was pre-recorded due to the COVID-19 travel ban. Research Challenges for the Industrial Adoption of Cyber-Physical Systems Abstract: Interest in…
Webots (https://cyberbotics.com) is a simulation environment for the design and modelling of robotic systems. Since robotics invariably results in some physical actuation, Webots can also be used to model Cyber-Physical Systems, and being open source,…
There are a few approaches to creating simulations that affect how we construct our models. The first approach is to do something called a Discrete-Event Simulation. With this model, we look at our system and…
