BMBF-Minister Özdemir and BMBF State Secretary Müller visit 6GEM demonstration on HMI 2025
6GEM was honored to welcome German Federal Minister of Education and Research (BMBF), Cem Özdemir, who visited the project's demonstration at the BMBF booth on the first day of the Hannover Industry Fair. On the second day, we had the pleasure of demonstrating our technology to BMBF State Secretary Claudia Müller.
The 6GEM demonstration features a virtualized air hockey game, showcasing teleoperation capabilities via virtual reality (VR), allowing remote control of physical robot arms. This gamification approach highlights the importance of ultra-low-latency 6G communication technologies necessary for immersive, real-time teleoperation in industrial scenarios.
6GEM focuses on strengthening technological sovereignty and competitiveness in future wireless communication systems. With this demonstration, 6GEM emphasizes how low-latency communication enables remote experts to perform complex tasks that robots alone cannot handle autonomously. This is especially critical in hazardous environments, as robots can perform dangerous tasks without exposing humans to risk. Additionally, teleoperation significantly reduces response times, allowing experts to intervene immediately without needing to travel.
The demonstrated research solutions within 6GEM include predictive adaptation of video codecs via RISE, AI-based proactive resource allocation with SAMUS, mmWave coverage optimization using passive HELIOS reflectors, and high-load stress testing enabled by STING. These innovations have received scientific recognition (through several best paper awards) and are partially planned be further developed through a start-up project supported by the 6GEMcubator.
