At Urban Machine, we’ve ended the pain of waiting for hardware by using digital twins—virtual replicas of our robots—to test and iterate in software. This approach has revolutionized how we develop robotics systems.
If you haven't seen it yet, check out our Factory Tour video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d8w7kATN4I&t=15s
In this video, you’ll learn:
- How digital twins help us test and refine robots before the hardware even arrives.
- How digital twins let us simulate sensors, motors, and even wood entirely virtually.
- How we align fast-moving software sprints with slower hardware development.
