A Real-Time Monitoring System Cooperated with Digital Twin for Robotic Arm
摘要
The Fourth Industrial Revolution, characterized by the implementation of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing, is revolutionizing the manufacturing industry. Machines in smart factories now can be monitored and controlled by their own digital twins. Alongside this, robotic arms must become more versatile, capable of performing complex tasks such as grasping objects of unknown sizes or soft objects. In this study, a digital twin of a robotic arm enhanced by a feedback system is proposed with the aim to accurately determine the force exerted by the robot's gripper on an object. This can assist engineers in monitoring and controlling production lines from distance.
