AN INTEGRATED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS FRAMEWORK FOR NEXT-GENERATION MULTIDISCIPLINARY ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS

Abstract

The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) promises transformative advances across multidisciplinary engineering domains. By synergizing data-driven intelligence with embedded computation and physical processes, integrated AI-CPS frameworks enable autonomous decision-making, enhanced adaptability, real-time monitoring, and optimized performance in complex systems. This review synthesizes state-of-the-art developments, explores architectural paradigms, evaluates core components, highlights cross-domain applications, discusses implementation challenges, and outlines future research directions.
