CPS (Cyber-Physical Systems) integrate computing, networking, and physical processes to create systems where physical processes are monitored and controlled by computer-based algorithms. IoTs (Internet of Things) refers to the network of physical devices connected to the internet, collecting and exchanging data. While CPS focuses on the interaction between the cyber and physical world, IoTs emphasize device connectivity and data exchange.

1. Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS)

• Definition: CPS are systems where physical processes are monitored and controlled by computer-based algorithms, tightly integrated with the physical world through sensors, actuators, and real-time feedback.
• Example in Banking: A smart security system in a bank branch that uses cameras (physical sensors) and software algorithms to detect suspicious activity in real-time, triggering automatic actions like locking doors or alerting authorities.

2. Internet of Things (IoT)

• Definition: IoT refers to a network of interconnected physical devices that can collect, exchange, and act on data through the internet without human intervention.
• Example in Banking: Smart ATMs connected via IoT that monitor their cash levels, automatically request replenishment, and send alerts for maintenance when a malfunction is detected, enhancing operational efficiency.

Difference:

• CPS integrates physical and computational elements with direct real-time control of physical processes, while IoT is focused on connecting devices to collect and exchange data over the internet without necessarily controlling physical processes directly.
