HIGH-FIDELITY TELEOPERATION SYSTEM

Scientists at NTU Singapore have developed a high-fidelity teleoperation system that enables drivers to operate heavy-duty vehicles remotely (from an off-site location) in a simple and realistic manner. The NTU teleoperation system is among the first batch of projects being tested in Sentosa, under the government-led 5G public sector.

Using a road sweeper that was previously developed as part of the Autonomous Environmental Service Vehicle R&D project under the National Environment Agency’s Environmental Robotics Programme, the tests will tap on 5G connectivity to send a video feed from the sweeper to an operator located elsewhere in real-time

This system, built by #NTUsg scientists, enables drivers to remotely operate heavy vehicles with 5G technology, steering towards better safety and more efficient use of manpower.
