The Centre’s Designing Socio-Technical Robotics Systems research program in partnership with B&R Enclosures have developed a research translation project presented using virtual reality (VR). The project highlights an experimental workflow to quickly capture workspaces for digital twin creation and human-centred research to identify opportunities and limitations for experimental cobot system design.
Immersive digital twins could be the next step in creating 3D and highly accurate representations of products and solutions that would otherwise be extremely expensive and risky to develop and test. These technologies present an exciting possibility of creating prototypes or mock-ups of technology and other systems, such as collaborative robots.
In the future, all our innovation could start with a digital twin, AI, and the extended reality landscape.
