Initial framework design of a digital twin mixed-reality-application on human-robot bi-directional collaboration for forming double curvature plate

This paper explores and identifies commonalities among recent Digital Twin (DT) technology definitions. additionally, it introduces a framework for a digital twin of Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) focusing on English wheel manufacturing as its foundational context. To achieve this, two 3D simulators, namely Grasshopper and Rhino, were employed to faithfully replicate the English wheel process digitally. Subsequently, optimizing these simulators’ performance paved the way for a comprehensive visualization of the English wheel using the Microsoft HoloLens. This visualization integrates digital and physical interactions, resulting in a mixed reality environment. The ultimate goal of this research is to enable a bi-directional collaboration within the digital representation of the English wheel, bridging the gap between the virtual and physical realms.

本文探索并确定了近期数字孪生（DT）技术定义之间的共性。此外，本文引入了一个人机协作（HRC）数字孪生框架，该框架以英式轮制造为基础背景。为实现这一目标，使用了两款3D模拟器，即Grasshopper和Rhino，以数字方式如实复制英式轮工艺。随后，对这些模拟器性能的优化为使用微软HoloLens全面可视化英式轮铺平了道路。这种可视化整合了数字和物理交互，形成了一个混合现实环境。本研究的最终目标是在英式轮的数字表征中实现双向协作，弥合虚拟和物理领域之间的差距。
