Welcome to the Cyber-Physical Systems Lab at Duke!

  • logo

    Cyber-Physical Systems are the next generation of time-critical and safety-critical, networked and embedded control systems, in domains spanning from autonomous vehicles, industrial automation and advanced manufacturing, to medical devices and systems, energy-efficient buildings, and smart cities.

    We focus on fundamental and application-specific problems related to modeling, design and analysis. Our goal is to provide strong safetyefficiencyrobustness, and security guarantees as part of CPS design and integration procedures.

About CPSL@Duke

CPSL@Duke brings together expertise from electrical, computer and biomedical engineering, as well as computer science fields to study the interaction between the physical world and computing systems with varying levels of autonomy. 

Our research focus is on development of high-assurance system design methodologies for Cyber-Physical Systems, which is at the confluence of embedded systems, AI and learning, formal methods, controls and robotics. The long-term goal is to integrate system modelinganalysis and automatic synthesis into composable design procedures that ensure safety and desired performance of closed-loop systems with varying levels of autonomy (including high!) and human interaction; under known and unknown operating conditions, and even in the presence of malicious activity.
