Abstract

This research delves deeply into the integration of collaborative robots (cobots) in the context of advancing 6G technology, aiming to enhance situational awareness. The research underscores the critical importance of Closed-Loop (CL) cobot control within the evolving 6G network architecture, enabling increased automation and improved adaptability. The study provides a comprehensive background on Intent-Based Networks (IBN) and CL mechanisms, introduces an application scenario, and outlines a framework for implementing CL systems in cobot cluster networks. An experimental setup is detailed, and a CL-enabled application migration use-case is demonstrated. This work contributes valuable insights to the ongoing discussion on the evolution of next-generation networks.
