Cyber-Physical Intelligences (CPI) are computing systems that interact with physical processes. The tight integration between the computation and the physical system is what differentiates CPS from other forms of computing, making CPI a kind of embedded system. However, unlike more traditional embedded systems, CPI are typically designed as networks of interacting elements instead of as standalone devices. The US National Science Foundation (NSF) has identified cyber-physical intelligence as a key area of research. Common applications of CPI typically fall under sensor-based systems and autonomous systems. For example, many wireless sensor networks monitor some aspect of the environment and relay the processed information to a central node. Other types of CPS include autonomous automotive systems, medical monitoring, process control systems, distributed robotics, and automatic pilot avionics.
