Digital Twins in Robotic Automation Workshop
Description:

 

 

  

Description Digital twins are virtual models of physical objects which is to simulate and analyse their behaviour in digital environment. A digital twin of robotic arm is to identify and visualize the potential problems when it operates.
Learning Outcomes On completion of the workshop, learners are expected to be able to:
  1. Understand the concept of digital twins.
  2. Develop programming skills specific to robotic arms.
  3. Gain an introduction to Unity programming.
  4. Learn how to establish serial communication between micro:bit and Unity, enabling data transfer and interaction between the two platforms.
