ReFLEX: Real-Time & Flexible Cyber-Physical Systems Lab @ University of York
Homepage: https://www.xiaotiandai.com/lab/
At Real-Time and Flexible Cyber-Physical Systems (ReFLEX) Lab, we focus on advancing real-time and embedded systems across topics like scheduling on many-core architectures, harnessing digital twins for performance gains, ensuring reliable timing in robotics and AI, verifying long-lived cyber-physical systems, and innovating hardware for real-time and IoT solutions. Typical target systems of the lab include autonomous driving, avionic and aerospace control systems, robotic warehouse, virtual production and transportation. By blending theory and practice, we aim to push the boundaries of computing and deliver safer, more efficient technologies that can serve both industry and society.
Our lab leverages digital twin technology to build real-time virtual replicas of embedded and cyber-physical systems, enabling runtime monitoring, scheduling optimisation, and verification of timing properties. We also develop novel scheduling algorithms and resource allocation strategies for safety-critical platforms, from multi-core processors and networks-on-chip to multi-robot systems and autonomous vehicles.
