Ensuring that robots can navigate and operate effectively within built environments is crucial for their widespread adoption and acceptance," said Associate Professor Mohan Rajesh Elara from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD).
To address these limitations, Assoc Prof Mohan and his SUTD team explored an innovative approach in their paper 'Enhancing robot inclusivity in the built environment: A digital twin-assisted assessment of design guideline compliance'. Here, they demonstrate a novel methodology utilising digital twins to establish the usefulness of built environment design guidelines for robots.
A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical object in a virtual version of its environment. 'The digital twin approach offers several key advantages, including the ability to simulate real-world scenarios, enable virtual testing of robot interactions, and provide insights into compliance with design guidelines before physical implementation,' said Assoc Prof Mohan.
