DMG Mori Seiki: NTT Com, Autonomous Mobile Robot: 5G Remote Control Experiment

DMG Mori Seiki / NTT Com:

On May 21, we will use local 5G and install a collaborative robot on an automated guided vehicle.

“We will start a joint experiment to remotely control an autonomous vehicle (AGV).”

Both companies will study the feasibility of higher AGV performance through this experiment.

Local 5G / AGV high performance:

The two companies will verify the local 5G radio characteristics in the factory.

Higher performance of AGV,
Furthermore, automation of production sites,
It is said that it will consider availability for promoting DX.

Items to be tested:

Radio wave propagation test (measurement of reception level and investigation of interference situation),
Communication quality test (measurement of delay, throughput performance, packet error rate),
Application test (AGV remote control test via local 5G)

DMG Mori Seiki and NTT Com Remotely Operate Autonomous Robots with Local 5G: Start Joint Experiment

May 21, 2020:

DMG Mori Seiki and NTT Com will start a joint experiment on May 21, 2020, utilizing local 5G * 1.

Remotely operate an autonomous mobile robot * 2 (AGV) equipped with a collaborative robot on an automated guided vehicle.

“Super fast”,
“Multiple simultaneous connections possible”,
Has characteristics such as “low latency”

Take advantage of local 5G.

High-definition location information:
Get detailed operation information,
Improved accuracy / safety of autonomous driving,

Edge computing side data processing reduces the overall load.

It is expected to contribute to higher AGV performance, such as weight reduction of the vehicle body,

Both companies will examine the feasibility through this experiment.
