Cyber-Physical Systems: Bridging the Gap Between IoT and Real-World Applications

Abstract

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) represent a transformative integration of computational and physical processes, bridging the gap between IoT technologies and real-world applications. This paper explores how CPS leverage IoT advancements to enhance the interaction between digital and physical domains, enabling more intelligent, responsive, and efficient systems. By examining key components of CPS, including sensors, actuators, and control systems, the paper highlights their role in various applications such as smart cities, industrial automation, and autonomous vehicles. The study emphasizes the benefits of CPS in real-time data processing, adaptive control, and system optimization. It also addresses challenges such as interoperability, security, and system complexity. Through a review of current implementations and emerging trends, the paper provides insights into the potential of CPS to revolutionize how physical and digital systems interact, offering solutions for enhanced operational efficiency and innovation across diverse sectors. The findings underscore the significance of CPS in advancing IoT applications and fostering the development of more integrated and intelligent systems.
