Digital Twins and Cyber-Physical Systems

Models that mirror and steer physical assets: twin architectures, simulation-in-the-loop, CPS design and verification, and twin-based autonomy.

Scope

Models that mirror and steer physical assets: twin architectures, simulation-in-the-loop, CPS design and verification, and twin-based autonomy.

Research topics

Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Digital twin reference architectures and interoperability
  • Real-time synchronisation and state estimation
  • Physics-informed and hybrid models
  • Simulation-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop
  • Twin-based what-if analysis and optimisation
  • Formal verification of CPS
  • Co-design of computation and physical dynamics
  • Twins for cities, grids and water systems
  • Twin lifecycle management and drift

Emerging challenges

  • Model fidelity vs latency
  • Twin drift and revalidation
  • Data standards and vendor lock-in
  • Cost of instrumentation
  • Verification of learned components inside CPS
  • Scaling from asset twins to system-of-system twins

Industry applications
