Talk @ SAL Linz: Digital Twins for Autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems
Talk of Assoc.-Prof. Dr. Lukas Esterle, Dpt of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Software Engineering & Computing Systems, Aarhus University, Denmark
Digital Twins are virtual replicas of physical systems, but in contrast to simple models, they can be updated and provide feedback at runtime to the respective physical system. Digital Twins have received significant attention over the past years from academia and industry alike.
Operating and maintaining in-situ models with current information of cyber-physical systems opens up various opportunities, such as dealing with uncertainties, predicting upcoming maintenance, or optimizing underlying processes. As Digital Twins are inherently expected to communicate bi-directionally with their physical counterpart, they are excellent candidates for utilising them to increase the autonomy of such systems.
This talk will discuss the challenges and proposed solutions when it comes to utilising and applying Digital Twins, including updating underlying models at runtime, simulating faults and performing what-if simulations, and dealing with various drifts. In addition, an outlook of future research in the domain of Digital Twins for autonomous systems is given, highlighting open and future research challenges.

Digital Twins for Autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems
Biography:
Lukas Esterle is an Associate Professor at Aarhus University, leading the research group on Autonomous Intelligent Systems. He received his PhD with distinction from Klagenfurt University, Austria. Afterwards, he was a Postdoc at TU Wien, Austria, before receiving a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship with Aston University and the University of Birmingham, UK. He is also a member of DIGIT Aarhus University Centre for Digitalisation, Big Data and Data Analytics, an Associate Fellow at the Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies (AIAS), and a Co-PI on the Digital Twin Center for Open Research and Engineering (DT-CORE). He has contributed to several books, including “The Engineering of Digital Twins” (Fitzgerald, Gomes, Larsen, edts., Springer 2024). Lukas is also an Associate Editor of the Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments as well as ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems.
