Cyber-physical systems: driving force for innovations in mobility, health, energy and production

Today, about 98 percent of microprocessors are already embedded in everyday objects and devices, connected with the outside world through sensors and actuators. They are increasingly networked with one another and on the internet. The physical world and the virtual world - the cyberspace - are merging; cyber-physical systems are developing. Like never before, future cyber-physical systems will contribute to security, efficiency, comfort and the health systems, and as a result, they will contribute to solving central challenges of our society, such as the aging population, limited resources, mobility, or energy transition. Germany is in the position to become a leader in international competition thanks to innovative cyber-physical systems. In this statement, acatech explains what prerequisites must be created and how Germany can overcome the technical, political and social hurdles on the way to achieving this position.
