Cyber Physical Systems-1

Which of the following best describes a Cyber-Physical System (CPS)?

• A software program designed for office tasks.

• A system that integrates physical components with computational elements to interact with the real world.

• A device that connects to the internet.

• A type of cloud storage solution.

A key characteristic of CPS is:

• Limited interaction with the physical environment.

• Real-time monitoring and control of physical processes.

• Operating independently without human intervention.

• Primarily focusing on data analysis.

An example of a CPS application is:

• A basic calculator

• A self-driving car

• A standalone music player

• A word processing software.

CPS systems rely on which of the following components for communication?

• User interface only.

• Sensors and actuators only.

• Sensors, actuators, and a network connection.

• User interface and a network connection.

Security is a major concern for CPS because:

• They are not connected to the internet.

• A cyberattack can potentially disrupt physical processes.

• They are less reliable than traditional systems.

• They require constant user input.

Which of the following is NOT a typical feature of a CPS?

• Reactive computation based on continuous interaction with the environment.

• Limited processing power compared to traditional computers .

• Network connectivity for communication between physical and cyber components.

• High degree of reliability and robustness for safe operation

An advantage of using CPS in industrial automation is:

• Reduced human interaction with machinery.

• Increased efficiency and productivity.

• Both A and B.

• Neither A nor B.

The development of smart grids is an example of how CPS can be used in the field of:

• Transportation.

• Energy management.

• Healthcare.

• Communication.

When designing a CPS, a crucial factor to consider is:

• User-friendliness of the interface.

• Trade-off between computational power and real-time performance.

• Both A and B.

• Neither A nor B.

The future of CPS is expected to bring about advancements in:

• Standardized communication protocols for seamless integration.

• Enhanced security measures to mitigate cyber threats.

• Development of more sophisticated AI algorithms for control tasks.

• All of the above.
