Digital Twin Modeling & Software

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a high-fidelity digital twin of its Laboratory for Autonomous Systems Research (LASR) facility. The digital twin will accurately model and simulate the physical environments and various assets within the LASR facility, providing NRL researchers with an easily accessible tool for simulating robotic and autonomous system (RAS) behaviors in realistic digital environments. The digital twin will include virtual environments of four distinct high bay spaces, RAS platform models, and tools to support anticipated functionalities. Some key features and requirements of the digital twin include: • Utilization of the latest tools and services within the NVIDIA Omniverse Digital Tools and Environment • Inclusion of virtual environments of four distinct high bay spaces with physical properties and behavior parameterized by real-world or proxy sensor values • Inclusion of RAS platform models with physical properties, sensors, actuators, and manipulators • Development of tools to support configuration and testing of the system • Delivery and upload of the digital twin to a dedicated host computer at NRL's LASR facility • Integration with Omniverse libraries and microservices • Provision of technical and user documents, including system specifications, code documentation, test results, and operation manuals.
