IT House, March 8 – In a trial conducted at the TDC NET5G Innovation Center in Denmark, Ericsson managed to connect a Boston Dynamics robotic dog to a 5G network, according to Ericsson’s official website. Previously, the robot dog had to be connected to WiFi with a connection range of only 30 meters.
To demonstrate the technology in reality, Ericsson said the partners worked with Hans Christian Anderson Airport and Lorenz Technologies to have the robot dog perform a security check of the fence around the site. The experiments proved that the robot dog can walk on undulating terrain, climb stairs and enter tight spaces, and with the availability of 5G, it can perform tasks almost anywhere.
The fence inspection technology was reportedly developed by the Danish Education and Research Agency, and it uses a deep learning approach where the robot dog can spot and report any signs of damage in real Time.
IT House has learned that the experiment ended in February and was successful. This shows that 5G networks can be built into the robot dogs to play a greater role in surveillance, image recognition and video analysis for autonomous operations.
