Aims & Scope

This special session aims to bring together experts from global academia and industry to focus on the emerging interdisciplinary field of Digital Twin Assembly (DTA). The objective is to establish a high-level platform for exchanging insights on fundamental theories, key technologies, and innovative applications of digital twin throughout the lifecycle of complex product assembly, including design for assembly, assembly process planning, virtual assembly commissioning, cyber-physical assembly execution, and real-time optimization.

By addressing topics such as assembly process modeling, multi-physics simulation, real-time data fusion, and human-machine collaboration, this session seeks to advance DTA from proof-of-concept toward large-scale industrial deployment. The session will explore current challenges in assembly precision, performance, real-time interoperability, and system integration, shaping future directions for smart manufacturing through highly efficient, flexible, reliable, and intelligent assembly systems.

The session topics include but are not limited to:

• • Assembly design & process planning optimization for DTA
• • Human-machine collaborative assembly for DTA
• • Real-time perception, modeling, and synchronization for DTA
• • Intelligent execution and autonomous decision-making for DTA
• • XR (VR/AR/MR), AI, and LLM for DTA
• • Advanced applications and case studies of DTA
