Digital Robot Twin
The term “digital robot twin” refers to a virtual representation of a physical robot or a robotic system component in a digital environment. This digital replica contains comprehensive information about the robot, including its design, functionality, movements, sensor data, and interactions with its environment. The twin digital robot is often used in Industry 4.0 and in the area of industrial automation to support the development, optimization and control of robotic systems. In the case of RobCo, this works with our RobCo Studio software platform RobFlow.
