The Future of Robotics in the 6G Era<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6G is envisioned as a transformative communication technology, delivering capabilities that far exceed those of 5G. These advanced features are critical for enabling seamless integration and intelligent coordination across different technical and business domains. For robotics, 6G\u2019s potential impact is profound: it can support large\u2011scale swarm coordination, tele\u2011operation with near\u2011instant responsiveness, and seamless integration of robots into cyber\u2011physical ecosystems such as smart factories, healthcare, and autonomous mobility. Yet, key challenges remain, including ensuring deterministic communication in dynamic wireless environments, safeguarding security and privacy in distributed robotic networks, etc. Potential research directions include developing closed\u2011loop orchestration frameworks powered by Agentic AI for real\u2011time intent translation, designing resilient network slicing tailored to robotic workloads, exploring semantic communication for task\u2011oriented collaboration, and advancing cross\u2011layer optimization to balance performance with sustainability. Together, these efforts will be essential to fully realize the promise of 6G\u2011enabled robotics. Dr. Xueli An is the Head of 6G Network Architecture Research Group at Huawei Technologies Duesseldorf GmbH, Munich Research Center, Germany. Her main research focus is on AI-native 6G network architecture design and corresponding new business sectors that could be enabled by 6G, e.g. industry automation, robotics, etc. Other than research domain, she is actively involved in many industry platforms. She serves as 5G Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation (5G-ACIA) working group \u201cUse cases and Requirements\u201d Vice Chair since 2018. She is the Vice Chair of NetworldEurope Enabling Technologies for Future Vertical Ecosystem Transformation Working Group since 2020. She also takes the role as working group \u201cCommunication and Dissemination\u201d co-chair position in one6G Association since 2021. She has many peer-reviewed international journal\/conference publications and filed\/granted patent applications in the field of mobile communication, networking, etc. She received her Master and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), The Netherland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Title: The Future of Robotics in the 6G Era Abstract: 6G is envisioned as a transformative communication technology, delivering capabilities that far exceed those of 5G.

one6G Association<\/strong> is an international non\u2011profit organization that brings together telecom operators, vendors, research institutes, and universities to shape the future of 6G and ensure its alignment with societal and industrial needs. In the field of robotics, one6G has published dedicated white papers analysing how 6G capabilities can enable advanced robotic applications across different industry sectors. Their work highlights the importance of seamless integration between communication, sensing, and native AI, and positions 6G as a key enabler for autonomous robotic systems. By identifying requirements and promoting cross\u2011industry cooperation, one6G is laying the groundwork for standardization and ecosystem development that will allow robotics to thrive in the 6G era. This talk will introduce one6G\u2019s vision for 6G\u2011enabled robotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker’s Bio:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
