The concept of Digital Twins was 1st conceived by Michael Grieves from the University of Michigan in 2002. However, the first working system was only developed in 2010 by NASA, in an effort to improve their spacecraft via digital representation. Digital Twins, which are a virtual, usually 3D models of a physical entity, have became more relevant due to the technological advances in machine learning that can be applied via digital representation to “real” situations, systems & environments.
The thing is that although these models are undoubtedly useful, they are very difficult to build. So industry struggled to simulate environments, which they needed in order to quickly & effectively find solutions to problems or improve aspects of production or other factors. AWS, understanding this gap in the market has introduced AWS IoT TwinMaker.
