Digital twins are a rapidly advancing area in engineering, going beyond static models to continuously receive data from the physical world and make predictions that go on to affect that reality. They have applications in areas such as energy systems, manufacturing and medicine. U-M’s Automotive Research Center (ARC) uses them to help design, test and control autonomous off-road vehicles that operate in human-led teams.
