7th 6GEM generaly assembly meeting
The 7th General Assembly Meeting of the 6GEM Project took place on November 6-7, 2024, at the Fraunhofer FHR in Wachtberg.
The DSP team from RWTH Aachen showcased a demo of their mmWave communications testbed featuring beam tracking and extended reality for visualizations and user interactions. Additionally, they presented several informative posters highlighting their latest research and developments.
The Chair of Materials Handling and Warehousing (FLW) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics (IML) are working together on innovative solutions in intralogistics. In the FLW research hall, the project partners test and validate their 6G-based hardware and software developments under realistic conditions.
At the 7th General Assembly of the 6GEM project, held on November 6-7, 2024, in Wachtberg and hosted by the Fraunhofer Institute for High Frequency Physics and Radar Techniques (FHR), FLW and Fraunhofer IML presented groundbreaking demonstrations of 6G-supported robotics applications in intralogistics.
Irfan Priyanta (FLW), Julia Freytag (IML), and Sönke Kaufmann (IML) introduced the “Grip and Drive” concept, a video demonstration showcasing the use of robots in a picking task. Transport and arm robots work together to pick up and deliver packages in a warehouse environment. Additionally, posters on collaborative robot perception and a cloud-based orchestration platform for highly dynamic swarm warehouse robots were presented. The “Grip and Drive” approach is to be integrated into both perception and orchestration frameworks in the future.
Furthermore, Moritz Roidl, Senior Engineer at FLW, provided insights into the current research progress and explained the next development steps.
