“…The study of DTs is recent, mainly after 2015 [33,40], and there is an unclear definition of DT. However, regardless of the growing complexity of their applications, it is agreed that there are several benefits to using DTs, such as optimization of Industry 4.0, and the sustainability of the product design process.…”

“…There are five main concerns to address in the development of a sustainable DT: (i) fidelity; (ii) energy control; (iii) complexity control; (iv) identification of environmentally and cost-efficient materials; and (v) easy reproduction of new product designs. It is also possible to identify areas of research related to DTs, namely: (i) the study of its concept and definition [1,4,35,36,40,47]; (ii) the presentation of examples [38,56]; and (iii) the use of SLR to understand the current research and to identify future research paths [2,10,33,37].…”

Sustainable development was defined by the UN in 1987 as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, and this is a core concept in this paper. This work acknowledges the three dimensions of sustainability, i.e., economic, social, and environmental, but its focus is on this last one. A digital twin (DT) is frequently described as a physical entity with a virtual counterpart, and the data, connections between the two, implying the existence of connectors and blocks for efficient and effective data communication. This paper provides a meta systematic literature review (SLR) (i.e., an SLR of SLRs) regarding the sustainability requirements of DT-based systems. Numerous papers on the subject of DT were also selected because they cited the analyzed SLRs and were considered relevant to the purposes of this research. From the selection and analysis of 29 papers, several limitations and challenges were identified: the perceived benefits of DTs are not clearly understood; DTs across the product life cycle or the DT life cycle are not sufficiently studied; it is not clear how DTs can contribute to reducing costs or supporting decision-making; technical implementation of DTs must be improved and better integrated in the context of the IoT; the level of fidelity of DTs is not entirely evaluated in terms of their parameters, accuracy, and level of abstraction; and the ownership of data stored within DTs should be better understood. Furthermore, from our research, it was not possible to find a paper discussing DTs only in regard to environmental sustainability.

“…The Internet of Things in Cities provides a data base for DT deployments of smart cities. In order to manage the large number of Internet of Things in smart cities and generate reliable DT, the Gabriel Tamura's team [54] proposed using GEMINIS to apply IOT to Digital Twinss, so that Digital Twinss can better cope with the dynamics and uncertainties of the physical world, and ensure the consistency of behavior between DT models and physical entities. On the basis of the IOT with cloud computing, large-scale economy, application standardization, and software and service solutions can be realized, accelerating the learning curve of smart city operations [14].…”

With the development of science and technology, the high-tech industry is developing rapidly, and various new-age technologies continue to appear, and Digital Twins (DT) is one of them. As a brand-new interactive technology, DT technology can handle the interaction between the real world and the virtual world well. It has become a hot spot in the academic circles of all countries in the world. DT have developed rapidly in recent years result from centrality, integrity and dynamics. It is integrated with other technologies and has been applied in many fields, such as smart factory in industrial production, digital model of life in medical field, construction of smart city, security guarantee in aerospace field, immersive shopping in commercial field and so on. The introduction of DT is mostly a summary of concepts, and few practical applications of Digital Twins are introduced. The purpose of this paper is to enable people to understand the application status of DT technology. At the same time, the introduction of core technologies related to DT is interspersed in the application introduction. Finally, combined with the current development status of DT, predict the future development trend of DT and make a summary.

In today's world, it is anticipated that DTw and IoRT will transform the idea of digital healthcare and advancement of it what was previously unknown. DTw is (physical or virtual) machines or computer-based models capable of mimicking or "twinning" the lives of actual entities such as objects, humans, or human-related features. Since the advent of digital and smart healthcare, the world has swiftly integrated several technologies in healthcare to support improved patient service, extend life expectancy, and lower healthcare expenses.DTw and IoRT are promising technologies and great improvements in this field. In recent years, the concepts of IoRT and DTw have captured the interest of the surgical sector. The flawless integration of data between a physical and virtual machine in either direction is the best way to conduct smart surgery. Artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, various kinds of robotic equipment, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are our pillars of completing the task. Using the DTw technological framework and IoRT infrastructure, this review paper proposes a comparative overview of traditional and IoRT collaborated DTwT and executes an adaptive perspective, opportunities, and challenges in the healthcare sector, namely surgical advances. This is an important addition to digital surgeries and to improve healthcare operations. Our literature review has sorted them according to research areas: the technological innovation, the prospective and opportunities we have, problems facing the surgical industry today and in the future, and offers an evaluation of the enabling technologies for the betterment of employing DTw and IoRT for the developing and secure surgical sector for both patients and doctors.INDEX TERMS Digital twin technology (DTwT), Internet of Robotic things (IoRT), surgery, Future surgical sector, Healthcare,
