Future Technologies Series: Demystifying Digital Twin (CanopyLAB)

The digital twin has been touted as a top strategic technology trend. However, many are yet to embrace this game-changing innovation. So, join us to learn about this technology and its applications. Anything that generates power today will be connected to the Internet. The IoT has enhanced businesses, machines and processes. To power the IoT world, Digital Twin is a new and upcoming paradigm.

Unit 1: What Is Digital Twin?
Unit 2: How Does a Digital Twin Work?
Unit 3: Applications of Digital Twin Technology
Unit 4: The Future Opportunities of Digital Twin Technology
The concept of digital twin represents the convergence of virtual and physical world. In some cases, it is referred to as the digital reflection of the physical assets that powers next generation Artificial Intelligence. In other cases, it is a digital map that powers Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) applications. Collectively, the units in this course is a step-by-step guide to understanding Digital Twin and its applications. With the help of the syllabus, exercises and video lectures in each unit, you will be gaining a strong understanding of Digital Twin and how it’s related to your future learning.

This course is the last course in our series of four courses and builds on the previous three courses: IoT Devices, IoT Communications, and IoT Networking. After we have built and programmed a small self-driving vehicle, we then set out to enhance its connectivity and add important security infrastructure. In this course we will now look closer into various remaining types of decentralized network topography. In the lab, we will additionally cover important cloud technologies based on machine-learning. In the first two weeks' lectures, we will cover important components of networks.
