Abstract
Digital twin (DT) is rated as one of the ten most promising emerging technologies in the last few years by various technology watchers. Within a short span of some 10 years, DT has emerged as one of the most promising ways to connect and integrate physical and virtual spaces seamlessly.
In brief, a DT is a high-fidelity digital representation of a physical object or system. It has bi-directional communication capability with the physical twin through sensors and networks. Applications have found their ways to almost all fields, from manufacturing, health care, to city and urban planning.
This talk presents the progress made today, and the challenges faced in years to come. Researchers ask the question: what is next after digital twins? The speaker shares some thoughts on these issues.

Abstract
Human-machine interaction (HMI) has been widely researched and reported, with approaches ranging from co-existence to collaboration and human-machine symbiosis. Many research and applications of HMI in human-robot collaboration and human-robot cooperation have been reported. Augmented Reality and Digital Twins have been applied in HMI. This presentation aims to provide an overview of the technical features and characteristics of various HMI approaches. The presentation will summarize the enabling tools for achieving human-machine symbiosis. The current limitation factors and future trends of human-machine symbiosis will also be discussed.
