The fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics are key to developing self-driving technology. Ontario, particularly the University of Toronto, has a history of excellence in all of them going back thirty years or more. Listening to Steve Waslander talk about autonomous vehicle (AV) research and development at the University of Toronto, it’s impossible not to get excited.
Kollmorgen is currently performing 5G tests with Ericsson to explore future Mobile Robot capabilities. 5G can enable new levels of AI and Machine Learning, simplify requirements for infrastructure, and increase network stability – which could dramatically increase performance and cost efficiency for Kollmorgen’s partners and end-users. Kollmorgen’s tests with Ericsson were carried out on both a private 5G network as well as a public 4G network by using a Autonomous Mobile Robot, controlled by the Kollmorgen NDC S platform. The Wi-Fi communication link in the Kollmorgen CVC700 onboard vehicle control unit was replaced with a 5G communication link. Test results were promising – The NDC Solutions hardware and software proved to run as stable on 5G as on Wi-Fi. Furthermore, a seamless 5G antenna handover was observed.
