CYPER-PHYSICS FOR SECURITY

In collaboration with Prof. Prokop (Chair of Automobile Engineering) and Prof. Fricke (Chair of Air Transport Technology and Logistics), simulated, real and hybrid test scenarios are being developed on the basis of digital twins. The test approach is based on step-by-step prototyping, in which virtual scenarios are transferred step by step into real test setups. Selected system components such as vehicles, road users or road infrastructure can be gradually replaced by their real or simulated counterparts. Safe interactions are also the goal of the Chair of Algebraic and Logical Foundations of Computer Science, where formal systems and mathematical proof methods are used to examine software logic for compliance with physical conditions.

What will later be performed by cars and airplanes in the SML is currently being viewed in virtual space. Advantage: Virtual spaces can be easily spanned with MR glasses - no laser is required for dimensions and distances. With the help of mixed reality glasses, systems are easier to configure, scenes become visible and leaving the virtual space immediately leads to a safe termination of the action. These spaces are created at the Junior Professorship in immersive Media Design under the direction of Matthew McGinity.

"Cyber-physical systems are ideal for the development of safe autonomous machines of the future, as they give us a feedback loop between digital and physical elements. If a component changes, it reacts according to the cyber-physical rules," says Dominik Grzelak.
