Leaphy Digital Twin Main Page

Introduction

This manual guides the integration of a Digital Twin (DT) into the Master Next Level Engineering (MNLE) program at the University of Applied Sciences Utrecht (HU) using the Leaphy platform, Arduino Cloud, and a dedicated Digital Twin website. The DT bridges theoretical knowledge with practical applications, equipping students with essential skills in robotics.

Objectives

• Hands-On Learning: Practical engineering tasks.
• Skill Development: Understanding complex concepts through practical application.
• Real-World Simulation: Scenario testing and data-driven decision-making.

Introduction to Digital Twin (DT)

A Digital Twin is a virtual representation of a physical system that mirrors the real-world entity through continuous data exchange. It allows real-time monitoring, simulation, and analysis, enabling prediction of outcomes and optimization of operations.

Key Components

• Leaphy Robot: The physical hardware serving as the primary subject of the DT.
• Arduino Cloud: A platform for programming and managing the Leaphy robot, allowing remote control and data collection.
• Digital Twin Website: An online interface for interacting with the digital representation of the Leaphy robot.
