ABSTRACT
Inspired by the article "Creating a Digital Twin as an Open Source
Learning Tool for Mobile Robotics" [17], this project aims to validate
the concept of Digital Twin by virtualizing the Tupy mobile
robot platform, developed by the ROSIE group at the University
of Curitiba (UniCuritiba), for educational purposes. The
goal is to explore cyber-physical systems and apply Industry 4.0
concepts, using the Robot Operating System (ROS) as the central
system. The Tupy robot integrates with the Raspberry Pi (RPi)
and Arduino Uno platforms through the ROS Melodic framework,
allowing it to collect information from the mobile robot and control
it remotely. Thus, successfully implementing the Digital Twin
of Mobile Robot (DTMR) enables information exchange between
different development platforms and virtualization in the CoppeliaSim
- EDU simulator. The files for this project are available on
