Digital twin is a digital representation of real-world entities or systems, creating virtual models of physical entities in a digital way that can describe the process of "symbiosis" between physical objects and their dynamic processes throughout their lifecycle. By simulating the behavior of physical entities in a real environment with interactive feedback between virtual and real worlds, data fusion analysis, and iterative decision optimization, and digital twin can add or expand new capabilities to physical entities and serve as a bridge and link between the physical and digital worlds. Currently, the concept and technology of robotic digital twin are also entering the medical and health fields from the industrial sector. The potential applications of digital twin include patient health monitoring, personalized medication, medical equipment, hospital operation management, etc. These characteristics are expected to play an important role in overcoming the limitations of remote surgery technology and expanding its application scenarios.
