Digital Twins are digital replicas of physical systems that are updated in real-time and allow for feedback to the physical system. This technology has a wide range of relevant application areas. Due to the complexity of physical systems, there are several technological challenges to overcome to build, deploy and operate digital twins with real-world robots.

The Robotics Digital Twin lab offers the unique opportunity to work on various robots and develop, improve and analyse digital twin technology.

The Laboratory is headed by Professor Peter Gorm Larsen, and several researchers and student assistants are associated with the lab. Access to the lab is managed by Søren Møller Dath and he has the daily overview of the lab.

The lab features several robots with varying capabilities. Generally, there are two types of robotic systems that are currently available in the Robotics Digital Twin Lab.

On the one hand, industrial robots such Universal Robots, mobile industrial robot platforms (i.e. MIR platform), an OnRobot screwdriver, and small conveyor belts with industrial robotic arms to create industrial settings. On the other hand, several autonomous mobile robots and cars are available in the lab.
