Hi, I have a robot. I use imu sensor and odometry for localization on map. But the initial pose of robot in real life and simulation are not same. Imagine I put robot at the starting point of the map in real life and in RVIZ I put robot at the starting point. But in real I might put it a few centimeter in real life away from position in simulation. I hope I did tell my trouble.
I believe you described your problem of how to minimize the discrepancy between the real robot's actual positioning on the map and its simulated version in the simulation (or in general, how to account for the error of the initial pose in robot control).
One way of solving this problem is AMCL (but this node works only with laser scans from robot's lidar and laser maps):
amclis a probabilistic localization system for a robot moving in 2D.It implements the adaptive (or KLD-sampling) Monte Carlo localization approach (as described by Dieter Fox), which uses a particle filter to track the pose of a robot against a known map.
AMCL will minimize the location error introduced by an inaccurate initial pose.
Any other approach will likely use something similar - updates from sensors to minimize location error.
Feel free to add more details to your question, so we could help you better :)
@ljaniec I think that "simulation" and "digital twin" are different things.
@Mike Scheutzow Ok, maybe I exaggerated - it sounded like the OP wanted the same system in real settings and in simulation, controlled simultaneously, where initial localization errors accumulate over time. I'm curious about your definition of a digital twin.
I also tried to rephrase the words in the answer better.
In our definition, a "digital twin" is displaying the state of real robots within a virtual world. It is the real robot's sensors that are used for localization and collision detect.
Maybe robot_localization package will help herewith a GPS integration? https://github.com/cra-ros-pkg/robot_...

It is not clear what your question is.
Also, it is not correct to believe that a robot in simulation will behave EXACTLY like a robot in the physical world. It won't because of limitations in the simulation.
