I would like to draw your attention to the upcoming virtual talk delivered by
Xueli An from Huawei Technologies Düsseldorf GmbH.
This talk will have the title:

6G enabled Future Robotics

Abstract

A future is envisioned where 6G technologies and solutions allow to unleash the potential of smart connectivity for a secure, resilient and sustainable development of our society. We believe robotic sector will be the new blue ocean that will be empowered by 6G. Robots with different appearances, optimized for different tasks, able to work in groups and able to interact with people in all areas of life e.g. at home, in industrial environment,  in hospital, etc. It is to be expected that even humanoid robots may reach market maturity when 6G will be rolled out. Robots are envisioned to be connected via 6G infrastructure. Moreover, 6G may also fundamentally change how robotics could be designed by leveraging its  advanced features like native-AI, integrated communication and sensing, etc.
