VR demonstration provides remote control of a robot via 5G

摘要

VISITORSTO RITTAL'S stand at the Hannover Fair could take part in a demonstration in which they controlled a two-arm industrial robot, connected to an edge-based 5G network, using virtual reality (VR) glasses and two VR controllers. The task was to plug a large replica of a connection terminal onto a rail, insert a cable into the terminal, and disconnect it again. There was immediate optical and acoustic feedback on whether they were successful in the task.
