This project will investigate approaches for developing and using digital twins which incorporate co-dependent and co-evolved models representing patients and assistive robots. This could accelerate the development and deployment of assistive robots in health and social care.
We will develop a framework for human–assistive robot digital twin teams through the development of a demonstrator. This will enable us to simulate, verify, and validate the adaptation of assistive robots to support users with complex physical needs.
We see this research also contributing to the increased trust, understanding and development of new standards for assistive robotics.
