The robotics landscape has been growing fast over the last few years, but in order to realise its full potential, it’s necessary to enable the human supervision of large numbers of robots from remote locations: this step will bring us into the era of cloud robotics.
This revolution can be fully realised with the advent of 5G, which will provide the necessary connection for cloud robotics, in a totally mobile way: the 5G-controlled robots will be increasingly pervasive, enabling the creation of a new “Robot ecosystem” composed of UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) and UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) fleets.
Reply is actively working in building the enablers for the adoption of a successful 5G cloud robotics approach, supporting customers’ strategies alongside different use cases, from teleoperations to food delivery.
