Current Research Projects

Research projects across the Center for Digital Twins in Manufacturing

Digital Twins for Worker Assistance in Flexible Manufacturing

  • PI: Wenlong Zhang; Co-PI: Dawn Tilbury

    This project will develop human digital twins with uncertainty quantification and integrate it with a process digital twin for automated worker assistance.

Exploring Foundation Models to Enhance Efficiency and Innovation in Design for Manufacturing

  • PI: Kira Barton; Co-PI: Wenlong Zhang

    This project will investigate the use of foundational models with more traditional models within a digital twin framework. Data will be integrated across the design for manufacturing pipeline to identify potential failures and key system correlations for enhanced system design.

Developing and Deploying an Anomaly-detection Digital Twin for Metal Additive Manufacturing

  • PI: Zhengtao Gan; Co-PI: Kira Barton

    This project will deliver a physics-informed digital twin that enables inter-layer defect detection for certifiable metal additive manufacturing.

Methodology for Synchronization of physical and Simulation Models (the Diagnostic Twin)

  • PI: Dawn Tilbury; Co-PI: Giulia Pedrielli

    This project will demonstrate a methodology for synchronizing a robotic digital twin with its physical counterpart in manufacturing.
