Robotics & Digital Twins Building the Future of Industry 4.0
Robots are no longer science fiction; they’re becoming the backbone of Industry 4.0 and paving the way for Industry 5.0. From smart factories to agile logistics, intelligent machines work alongside humans, bringing precision, flexibility, and resilience.
At ASSIST Software, we see robotics as a core enabler of this transformation. That’s why we’ve launched our Robotics Lab, equipped with a myCobot 280 robotic arm + AI Kit and the Unitree Go2 EDU quadruped robot. These platforms allow our engineers to explore how AI, IoT, digital twins, simulation, and robotics create integrated, future-ready solutions. To support this work, we rely on dedicated AI servers powered by top-of-the-line NVIDIA GPUs (A100 and RTX 5090), which make it possible to train advanced AI models and simulate complex behaviors and environments with precision.

Robotics as the Engine of Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 is about connectivity, automation, and data-driven decisions, and robotics naturally extends this vision. Intelligent machines can execute tasks with unmatched precision, adapt to changing conditions, and interact seamlessly with connected systems.
When linked to IoT devices, robots become part of a live ecosystem that collects and analyzes real-time data. Combined with digital twins, they allow companies to test scenarios virtually before deploying them in real life. This is more than mechanical strength; it’s about embedding intelligence, adaptability, and resilience into production systems to help businesses remain competitive in a rapidly changing world.

Inside the ASSIST Robotics Lab
Our Robotics Lab, part of the broader ASSIST AI Lab, is where theory meets practice. With the myCobot 280, we test precision operations, vision-based quality inspection, and collaborative scenarios where humans and robots work side by side. The Unitree Go2 EDU allows us to study mobility, environmental awareness, and autonomous navigation capabilities relevant for logistics, security, and smart infrastructure.
We are also building digital twins of these robots in Blender. Recreating them in high-fidelity 3D allows us to replicate every physical detail, run accurate mechanical simulations, and validate use cases before deploying them in real-world environments. The image below shows one of these digital twins of the myCobot 280 in action.

From Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0
While Industry 4.0 has focused on efficiency and automation, Industry 5.0 emphasizes sustainability, resilience, and human-centric design. Robotics is at the core of this transition. Intelligent machines don’t just replace repetitive tasks; they complement human teams, reduce risks, and support sustainability goals by ensuring more precise use of resources.
Turning Innovation Into Impact
For our clients and partners, this robotics expansion means solutions beyond software.
- Predictive maintenance tested on physical robots powered by digital twins.
- Real-time quality control through the combination of computer vision and robotic arms.
- Collaborative robots are designed to support, not replace, human teams.
We aim to help organizations harness robotics as part of a connected ecosystem that improves efficiency, ensures quality, and builds resilience.

The Next Chapter in Robotics
Our ability to integrate robotics into the broader digital transformation stack sets ASSIST Software apart. With expertise in AI development, IoT connectivity, and digital twin technology, we provide a holistic approach that helps organizations move from isolated experiments to fully connected ecosystems.
The shift to Industry 5.0 is already underway. Every prototype, simulation, and experiment in the Robotics Lab is a step toward building that future together, with our partners, community, and clients.
