Mission Planning of a Quadcopter using a Digital Twin

Simulation is becoming increasingly important in today’s world. Using models of machines and systems, you can run simulations before actual devices are built and deployed. The digital representations used to simulate physical systems are known as digital twins, and each physical entity has its own digital representation. Digital twin has become one of the most promising emerging technologies.

In this hands-on workshop using MathWorks cloud tools, you will use a digital twin of a quadcopter to collect simulation data, analyze collision avoidance controls, and test scenarios to ensure the drone can accomplish its critical mission. The digital twin uses a physics-based modeling approach using Simscape™. You will learn about autonomous navigation with path planning algorithms using the Navigation Toolbox™ and will also see how to predict component failure using the Predictive Maintenance Toolbox™ to successfully replan the mission.

You will walk away from the workshop with a better understanding of these trending technologies that can be used in multiple application areas.
