Cyber-physical infrastructure
Cyber-physical infrastructure is a relatively recent term that encapsulates concepts which connect the physical and digital domains; such as digital twins, internet of things, artificial intelligence and robotics.
The term cyber-physical systems emerged in around 2006, when it was coined by Helen Gill at the National Science Foundation in the United States. In 2022, the Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology (DSIT) alongside the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) in the UK published a consultation on the Government’s vision for enabling cyber-physical infrastructure.
