A digital twin system that could enhance collaborative human-robot product assembly
Dec 2023, phys.org
The digital twin system creates a virtual replica of a scene in which a human and robot agent are collaborating, and plans effective collaborative strategies and executes them in a real-world environment; whereas previous systems relying on motion capture sensors struggle with occlusions, this one uses a human mesh recovery algorithm to reconstruct occluded human bodies.

New 'digital twin' Earth technology could help predict water-based natural disasters before they strike
Mar 2024, phys.org
They developed digital twin case studies for the terrestrial water cycle in the Mediterranean Basin using new satellite data that measures soil moisture, precipitation, evaporation, river discharge, and snow depth as often as once a kilometer and once an hour.
