Abstract
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) integrate computation, networking, and physical processes to form a tightly interconnected system that enables real-time monitoring and control of complex systems. In control engineering, CPS offer significant opportunities to improve system efficiency, safety, and performance across various applications, such as smart grids, autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation. However, the implementation of CPS also presents challenges, including system complexity, data security, and real-time processing requirements. This paper explores the opportunities and challenges associated with CPS in control engineering, focusing on their potential to enhance system performance, their integration with advanced technologies, and the key barriers that need to be overcome. The article also discusses future research directions for improving CPS design, deployment, and maintenance in control systems.
