What is a Digital Twin?
A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical robot that mirrors its behavior, capabilities, and environment in real-time. It serves as a bridge between the physical and digital worlds, enabling you to simulate, test, and optimize your robots before deploying them.Key Components
- 3D Model: Accurate geometric representation of your robot
- Physics Simulation: Realistic movement and interaction dynamics
- Sensor Integration: Virtual sensors that match your physical setup
- Real-time Sync: Bidirectional communication with physical robots
