Module 2: The Digital Twin (Gazebo & Unity)

Focus: Physics simulation and environment building.

To safely test and train our Physical AI systems, we utilize high-fidelity digital twins—simulations that accurately reflect real-world physics and environments.

Simulation Environments​

  • Simulating physics, gravity, and collisions in Gazebo: Using the Gazebo simulator to model rigid body dynamics, essential for accurate bipedal locomotion.
  • High-fidelity rendering and human-robot interaction in Unity: Utilizing Unity for advanced visualization, especially for human-robot interaction scenarios.
  • Simulating sensors: LiDAR, Depth Cameras, and IMUs: Generating synthetic data streams from virtual sensors, which is crucial for training perception algorithms.
note

The digital twin environment is vital for reducing costs and iteration time before deployment to real hardware.
