🎥✨ ¡La demo 5G Robot Race en Telecinco! La semana pasada, tuvimos el honor de que Informativos Telecinco nos hiciera un reportaje sobre nuestra demo 5G Robot Race, desarrollada en el marco del proyecto europeo FIDAL-VLC (FIDAL PROJECT, Grant agreement ID: 101096146), así como de los proyectos nacionales UNICO 5G R&D Avanzando-5G-Inmersivo-Haptico (TSI-063000-2021-111) y Avanzando-5G-Gemelos-Digitales (TSI-063000-2021-114). Esta demostración combina tecnologías de red 5G, control robótico en tiempo real, realidad aumentada, feedback háptico y gemelos digitales para permitir la conducción remota de robots de forma inmersiva y precisa. Todo ello operando sobre una red 5G privada con baja latencia y alta fiabilidad. 🎙️ En el reportaje participé yo por parte del iTEAM Research Institute de la Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), Andres Herranz Castellanos por parte de MasOrange, Gerardo Martinez Pinzon por parte de Fivecomm, y Sheila Sánchez Rodríguez y Sandra Moreno Olivares por parte de Robotnik Automation Gracias a Telecinco por ayudarnos a acercar la tecnología 5G y sus aplicaciones reales al gran público. Y por supuesto, gracias a todos los socios por el esfuerzo y la colaboración para hacer de este piloto un éxito tecnológico y divulgativo. 📺 [Enlace a la noticia] (https://lnkd.in/dhJ_zQef) 🎥✨ 5G Robot Race demo featured on national TV! Last week, we had the honor of having Informativos Telecinco report on our 5G Robot Race demo, developed as part of the European FIDAL-VLC (FIDAL PROJECT, Grant agreement ID: 101096146) project and the national UNICO 5G R&D programs Advancing-5G-Immersive-Haptics (TSI-063000-2021-111) and Advancing-5G-Twins (TSI-063000-2021-114). This demonstration showcased the integration of 5G private networks, real-time robot teleoperation, augmented reality, haptic feedback, and digital twins—enabling fully immersive and responsive remote robot driving over a low-latency, high-reliability 5G private network. 🎙️ The interview featured me from iTEAM Research Institute of Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), Andres Herranz Castellanos from MasOrange, Gerardo Martinez Pinzon from Fivecomm, and Sheila Sánchez Rodríguez and Sandra Moreno Olivares from Robotnik Automation Big thanks to Telecinco for helping us bring advanced 5G applications closer to the public. And a special thanks to all partners for their dedication and teamwork in making this pilot a technical and outreach success. 📺 [Link to the news] (https://lnkd.in/dhJ_zQef) #5G #RobotRace #DigitalTwins #ImmersiveTechnology #Teleoperation #AugmentedReality #Haptics #Unity #UNICO5G #FIDALVLC #UPV #Orange #Fivecomm #Robotnik

📣iTEAM Research Institute, Telefónica and Brainstorm Multimedia carry out a pioneering live holographic telepresence pilot on a TV set. The iTEAM Research Institute of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), Telefónica, and Brainstorm Multimedia have carried out a groundbreaking technological pilot that enables telepresence through real-time communication using three-dimensional holograms. This trial took place at La Cabina, the Innovation and Talent Hub located at Telefónica’s headquarters in Distrito T, as part of collaborative activities between the companies aimed at enabling impactful communication. It represents a significant step forward in the application of immersive technologies and remote communications. The pilot showcased an interview in which Guillermo Bataller, Head of Transformation and Innovation Projects at Telefónica, appeared holographically in a specially equipped TV space at Espacio Movistar using Brainstorm’s production system. From that studio, an interviewer was able to hold a smooth conversation with the 3D hologram of Guillermo Bataller, who was actually located at the volumetric capture set in LaCabina, which features an advanced volumetric video streaming system. Attendees at the studio could see and hear both participants as if they were in the same space. ➡️Using these advanced immersive communication technologies, the pilot demonstrated how holograms can become a viable means of effective remote communication in future scenarios.
