As digital and physical domains converge, system faults or cyberattacks in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) pose severe risks to physical safety and critical infrastructure. This 90-minute workshop explores a “Trustworthy System by Design” methodology to make next-generation CPS intrinsically safe, secure, and compliant with regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act.

Focusing on autonomous robotics, additive manufacturing, and their connected environments, the session demonstrates how AI-driven risk prediction, digital twins, formal analysis, and secure workflows strengthen systems safety and security. Combining expert talks with interactive discussions, the session connects academia and industry to build cross-sector networks and foster joint project proposals.

Programme

The session will follow a workshop-style format, combining presentations (50 minutes) and interactive activities (35 minutes) to foster active participation and knowledge exchange among attendees. The main activities will include:

Welcome (5 minutes)

Section 1 – Presentations (50 minutes)
5 short presentations from invited speakers introducing different perspectives on the session topic. Each presentation will be followed by a brief Q&A.

Section 2 – Interactive activities (35 minutes)

• Small Group Discussions (15 minutes)
  Participants will be divided into small interdisciplinary groups (5–6 people) to discuss challenges, opportunities, and experiences related to the topic.
• Group Reporting, Open Discussion, and Networking (20 minutes)
  Each group will briefly present the main points from their discussion and highlight key ideas or challenges. A discussion involving all participants to reflect on the themes that emerged and identify possible research directions or collaborations.
