  • Commercial 5G powers first haptic robot teleoperation, boosts feedback 40% A 5G slicing method reduced wireless delay, improving robot force feedback by 40 percent. NTT DOCOMO and Keio University have demonstrated high-precision remote robot control over a commercial 5G standalone network, claiming it as the world’s first practical use of Configured Grant for teleoperation. The test combined DOCOMO’s low-latency network slicing approach, called Configured Grant, with Keio’s Real Haptics technology, which transmits tactile and force feedback between a human operator and a remote robot.
