Demo: Remote Robot Control with Haptic Feedback over the Munich 5G Research Hub Testbed.

Teleoperation of robotic platforms is an emerging area for 5G and beyond 5G communications since reliable bi-directional communication is vital especially to have haptic interaction with the remote environment. This demo presents the teleoperation of a mobile robot with haptic feedback over an end-to-end 5G testbed. The network is deployed only using open-source software projects with Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) software defined radios (SDRs). The human operator will be using a joystick for body movements and a haptic device (3DSystems Touch) for the robot arm while remotely interacting with the mobile robot platform located in Munich.
