Applied research showcases integration of model-based systems engineering and digital twin in robotic arm development, indicating a new pathway for digital engineering adoption.
Digital engineering (DE) promises faster, more reliable product development—but only when its benefits are tangible to practitioners. This concise 5‐page paper distills a years‐long applied research effort at Dassault Systèmes into a portable showcase: a five‐axis Arduino‐based robotic arm modelled, simulated, manufactured, and verified through a single digital thread. Using SysML‐based model‐based systems engineering (MBSE) (MagicGrid method), Modelica multiphysics, robotic simulation, FMI co‐simulation, and MQTT‐enabled hardware‐in‐the‐loop, we demonstrate how requirements trace directly to architecture, mechanics, electronics and code. The result is a replicable template for universities and industry teams seeking to adopt digital engineering (DE) with minimal cost and maximum pedagogical impact.
