Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) represent a paradigm where computational algorithms, networking capabilities, and physical processes are tightly integrated. These systems are not merely computers controlling machines; they involve a deep interplay where the cyber and physical components influence each other, often in real-time. Think of them as smart systems engineered to sense, interact with, and adapt to the physical world around them, including human users. This intricate connection allows for unprecedented levels of automation, efficiency, and intelligence in a vast array of applications.
