This theme explores the development and application of digital twin technologies in the fields of biomedical engineering and precision engineering. Building on ongoing collaboration between the University of Tokyo and KTH, the focus is on creating integrated physical–virtual platforms that enable real-time simulation, control, and optimization of mechanical systems. Particular emphasis is placed on fluid engineering, including blood flow modeling and simulation, as well as high-precision calibration, AI integration, and remote collaboration. These efforts aim to support research, innovation, and training in critical application areas such as medical device development, surgical robotics, and advanced manufacturing.

Since 2018, the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and the University of Tokyo have collaboratively focused on biomedical engineering and precision engineering. Professors Mitsuishi, Harada, and Archenti initiated this effort to improve the accuracy and precision of surgical robotics. This collaboration encompassed innovative calibration methods for robots, especially considering the system's stiffness. The pursuit of accuracy and autonomy responds to the demand for medical technology advancements, where precision is key for achieving optimal outcomes in complex surgical procedures.
This joint research has expanded in scope, leading to the organization of symposiums and workshops that have brought together a wide range of researchers. So far, four workshops have been co-hosted, and the fifth one will take place at the University of Tokyo, with an extended scope that now includes digital twin technologies such as simulation. We warmly welcome your participation.
