Topic 3: Modeling and Control for Performance and Reliability of Cyber-Physical Systems

(Team led by O. Bruneau)

Human Operator Augmented by Cobots and Exoskeletons

➢ Human-Centered Assistance Systems
(reduction of mental workload and musculoskeletal disorders)

➢ Generation of Stable Dynamic Behaviors
(inverse optimal control, uncertainties)

➢ Modeling, Identification, and Force Control
(integration of human motor control, evaluation of control models and methods)

'Optimal' Identification for Hybrid Dynamic Systems

➢ Identification Processes
('Scalability' of holistic and adaptive approaches, determination of invariants of considered systems, performance analysis, stochastic approaches)

➢ Human Integration
(Human-Cyber-Physical Production Systems)

➢ JN Behavioral Model
(formal specification and verification, Synchronization, lifecycle, autonomous systems, federation of JNs)

Cybersecurity, cyber resilience, and control of critical systems

➢ Attack detection and reconfiguration
(observer development, attack detection methods, distributed and modular approaches, fault-tolerant reconfigurable control)

➢ Model coupling
(Max-Plus switching models, SED, delay models, stochastic, continuous, DEVS, AI approaches, etc.)

➢ R3 (Reliable, Robust, Resilient) JNs of critical systems
(uncertainty coupling, physical system/JN alignment, metrics)
