Cover Story: Collaborative robots are essential in Industry 5.0, working with humans or other robots to boost efficiency and handle complex tasks. This paper presents the development of a digital twin (DT) for the design, monitoring, optimization and simulation of robots’ deployment in assembly cells. The DT integrates data from the physical and virtual worlds to design the trajectory of collaborative robots using a 4D path planning algorithm. The physical information about the industrial environment is replicated within the DT in a computationally efficient way. The proposed framework is utilized for the examination of a case in which four industrial robotic arms are collaborating for the assembly of an industrial component. View this paper
