The James Watt School's CSI Research Group hosted Dr Yansha Deng from Kings College London for a talk on 6G and XR-aided Teleoperation
In a live in-person event organised by JWSE's CSI Research Group in May, Dr Yansha Deng from Kings College London described fascinating innovations in 6G and XR-Aided Teleoperation. The audience were enthralled and had many questions for Dr Deng.
To quote her abstract:
"Extended Reality (XR)-aided teleoperation has shown its potential in improving operating efficiency in mission-critical, rich-information and complex scenarios. The multisensory XR devices and robots introduce several new types of traffic with unique quality-of-service (QoS) requirements, which are expected to be addressed through 6G cellular connectivity. In this talk [we introduced] our vision and testbed for the XR-aided teleoperation system under cellular connectivity. We [then presented] several novel machine learning solutions designed for cellular-connected virtual reality/unmanned-aerial vehicles networks to guarantee these performance requirements."
Organiser Dr Guodong Zhao (Senior Lecturer in Glasgow College UESTC) hosted the event and was proud to show Dr Deng around some of the James Watt School of Engineering labs, as well as demoing 'Spot the robot dog', pictured below.
Spot is an agile mobile robot that navigates terrain with unprecedented mobility, allowing you to automate routine inspection tasks and data capture safely, accurately, and frequently. The CSI group exploit the use of Spot in healthcare and social care applications, from patient care and telepresence, to goods handling and assisted living.
