The one6G Association and euRobotics have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance research, knowledge exchange, and the development of 5G and 6G technologies in robotics. Javier Luque, euRobotics’ senior project officer was in Valencia to present the signed MOU on behalf of euRobotics. 

This agreement commits the two signatory organisations to work together, aiming to accelerate advances in both wireless communications and robotics. The organizations will play an active part in each other’s industry events and publications, contributing to increased visibility and fostering an environment of shared expertise. The partnership also extends to  the formulation of global standards in wireless communication and robotics, supporting vertical industries with potential 5G/6G applications. 

Prof. Nancy Alonistioti, one6G Chairwoman, commented: “This collaboration with euRobotics marks a significant step forward in our mission to drive innovation in 6G technology. By working together, we can leverage our combined expertise to push the boundaries of what is possible in wireless communications and robotics.” 

Prof. Bernd Liepert, euRobotics President, added: “Our partnership with one6G underscores the importance of integrating cutting-edge wireless technologies with advanced robotics. Together, we aim to create a more connected and productive future, where both fields can significantly benefit from each other’s advancements.” 

one6G Association has been at the forefront of wireless communication solutions, actively supporting 6G research and standardization efforts. A recent White Paper on 6G and  robotics, titled “Identifying Use Cases and Potential Service Requirements – Methodology and Examples,” showcases the commitment to explore innovative applications of 6G in robotics. It identifies key use cases such as robot-to-robot cooperation and robotic operations in remote or damaged environments, highlighting the potential for 6G to enhance these scenarios. 

With this new MOU, both organizations anticipate positive outcomes in wireless communications and robotics. The collaboration is expected to focus on innovation research, (pre-) standardization activities, and industry development. Ultimately, this partnership will benefit various sectors, including consumer business, manufacturing, healthcare, and education.
