Abstract
A digital twin is a digital replica of a real object (physical twin) that describes this object as detailed as possible. For example, a digital twin of an aircraft integrates real-time data from the sensors of the system embedded onboard the physical twin as well as provides historical data on the physical twin’s emergency situations, upgrades, service, etc. Thus, a digital twin is an individualized realistic virtual model of a physical twin. Analysis of digital twin data enables detecting anomalies in the physical twin components’ behaviour before the accident could happen, thus, it helps to prevent emergency situations in a timely manner.
The Digital Twin paradigm was developed by NASA for spacecraft monitoring and analysis to predict and prevent any possible critical situations. However, the Digital Twin technology has a much wider area of application, including urban planning, industrial processes optimisation, and product improvement. But what are possible future applications of the Digital Twin technology? And how far is this future? Smart industries, personal artificial intelligence, and digital humans – what is the next? These and other exciting questions are to be discussed in this keynote presentation.
