Contribution THz(23)000159 Use case on cooperative mobile robots

The combination of very high data rates, reliability, and low latency is needed to guarantee the safe operation and driving of mobile robots, such as AGVs. In the case of distributed processing, some decisions may be taken autonomously in the robot, while others need support or commands from a network-side application server, creating a need for data exchange in both directions as well as between robots. Due to the availability of very wide bandwidths, the THz spectrum may lay the foundation to address such stringent requirements. Cooperative mobile robots also require high accuracy sensing and localisation, which can be provided in the THz spectrum. The mobile robots not only need to sense and localise themselves in a static environment, but also in relation to other mobile robots, humans, and moving objects.
