Physics fidelity
Model limitations and environmental assumptions affect how results transfer to reality.
Software-in-the-loop
Teams test planning, control and sensor pipelines against consistent virtual environments.
Verification boundaries
Simulation builds confidence but cannot replace physical performance and safety evaluation.
Frequently asked questions
What is a digital twin?
A linked representation of a physical system, with capabilities varying by implementation.
Does simulation guarantee a safe robot?
No. Physical testing and safety controls remain necessary.
