Robotics and Digital Twin (RaDiT) Lab

The RaDiT Lab pursues the integration of robotics and digital twin technologies to create intelligent, adaptive machines that seamlessly bridge the physical and virtual worlds. Our multidisciplinary team designs and develops robotic systems as well as those that embody real-time data from their digital counterparts to enable enhanced performance, predictive analytics, and rapid adaptation to dynamic environments.

We specialize in building digital twin-powered robots for diverse applications—including advanced manufacturing, autonomous logistics, healthcare, and climate resilience. Our research accelerates innovation in robotics by leveraging state-of-the-art simulation, AI-driven modeling, and IoT connectivity to reduce deployment costs and close the gap between simulation and real-world operation.

At the RaDiT Lab, we are shaping the future of robotics by empowering robots to embody, learn, adapt, and collaborate through their digital twins to unlock new possibilities for industry, society, and the environment.
