Including a collaborative robot in digital twin manufacturing systems

摘要

Great potential lie in unlocking the capabilities of industrial robots through simulation in terms of cost saving, productivity, and flexibility.The concept of digital twin has emerged in recent year which aims to further improve the impact of simulations.A digital twin is an virtual counter part of a physical system that is capable of accurately simulating the physical system using data from the real system.The knowledge gained from the simulation can thus be used for real-time optimization and decision making.I would also like to thank my colleagues in the Geometry and Motion Planning group, specifically Daniel Gleeson, Robert Bohlin, Staffan Bjrkenstam, Jonas Kressin, Simon Vajedi and Domenico Spensieri for all the valuable input and advice.Great appreciation goes to Kristofer Bengtson at Chalmers for all the help and advice regarding
