Zusammenfassung
As advancements in wireless technologies address thecritical demands in medical robotics, industrial automation, hazardousmaterial handling, and disaster response, it is crucial to test real im-plementations of upcoming wireless technologies. This work presentsa teleoperation test environment that seamlessly integrates diversewireless communication technologies, supporting multi-connectivitywithout requiring modifications to the core application code utilizingRobot Operating System 2 (ROS 2). This flexible testbed is used for theevaluation of network performance in terms of latency, packet delayvariation (jitter) and reliability metrics. Additionally, the integrationof a novel decentralized Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication(dURLLC) system is demonstrated and evaluated, highlighting itspotential as a reference setup for future communication technologies in6G environments. Single-path and multi-path communication setups,including a dual 5G connection, are integrated into the testbed,compared, and evaluated regarding overall system performance. Theresults provide valuable insights into designing resilient and low-latency teleoperation systems, contributing to the advancement of 6G-enabled robotic applications.
