Robot control with 5G communications

This video is related to the news published in the newspaper and TV news on June 14th, 2019 and June 17th, 2019 in which is reported the use of 5G communications for the control of robotic systems.

In this work have participated researchers from the UPV of this research project and the telephone companies Orange and ZTE. Two platforms have been developed. The first one present the control of a YUMI, the ABB collaborative robot. The second one is the remote control of an electric card.

With the YUMI, the robotic arm is remotely controlled in real time with 5G communications to deal with high-precision tasks using deep learning algorithms. In the future, the robotic arm will be used in the fields of medical, industrial manufacturing, defense, entertainment and others.

The electric car has, in addition to other sensors, two cameras that transmit the car environment using 5G communications. The remote pilot drives the vehicle and provides the references for the steering, brake and throttle of the car.
