Digital Twin of a Telescope for Astronomical Image Modeling

US & West ·

A fully physical and differentiable digital twin of the MagAO-X instrument has been developed to model coronagraphic images. It uses wavefront sensor data to build a stellar point spread function (PSF) model, avoiding self-subtraction and constraints on observing strategy. First laboratory results confirm the approach works.

Why it matters

This is an example of a digital twin for high-precision modeling of physical systems, paralleling tasks in industry and infrastructure modeling.

Earth System World Model for What-If Simulations: A Case Study for Terrestrial Ecosystems

An action-conditioned world-modeling framework for Earth-system emulation is proposed, allowing users to specify interventions and explore system responses. It reformulates simulator trajectories as supervision for controllable state-transition learning, going beyond passive forecasting. This is relevant for interactive scientific workflows and Earth-system digital twins.

Digital Twin and Extended Reality for Robot-Assisted Finishing

A cyber-physical system is presented for programming, supervision, training, and teleoperation of robot-assisted finishing of metal additive-manufactured parts. A digital twin built in Unity is delivered as a WebGL app supporting desktop and WebXR modes, exchanging robot state and pose commands with a collaborative robot via MQTT. The twin enforces kinematic and collision constraints before releasing poses and augments the virtual component with a color map of surface topography to support operator decisions.

When Can LLM Digital Twins Reduce Human Measurement? From Behavioral Fidelity to Statistical Substitutability

The concept of statistical substitutability is introduced to assess whether LLM-based digital twins can replace repeated human data collection while preserving valid inference. A framework grounded in mixed-subject and prediction-powered inference evaluates four dimensions: aggregate fidelity, paired respondent-level signal, finite-sample label recovery, and stability across populations. This helps determine when twins can reduce measurement burden.
