The company presented an industrial example of digital-twin-metaverse-robotic solutions for the electric power industry. Using this concept of the metaverse, dangerous and time-consuming inspections of electric grids and electricity-generating equipment are monitored through sensors in real time in the digital twin or virtual world. Meanwhile, robots are used to do maintenance and close-up inspections.<\/p>\n
