Robotics & the Industrial Metaverse
summary
Claims that matter: simulation plus AI already trains robots to handle messy physical tasks by simulate water physics (models of glass plus fluid), with early sim‑to‑real transfers proven in first cases; digital twins and metaverse loops let networks of robots share skills and learn exponentially. Industry evidence: robotic surgery performs millions of ops today, logistics robots kept supply chains running in the pandemic, every second robot sold last year goes to China. A physical testbed is underway — an integrated care campus in Garmisch‑Partenkirchen due 2026 — and Europe is urged to invest or risk falling behind.
