Our Demonstrators: Booth Nr. 6-10
CeTI – Booth Nr. 6
Walkable OR
Explore the operating room of the future: The Walkable OR demo showcases the use of artificial intelligence and robotics in surgical applications. From image recognition for enhanced diagnosis and surgery preparation to AI-assisted procedures using teleoperated robots — the demo illustrates how CeTI technologies are being implemented to support surgeons to perform their best.
Spirit Fingers
Explore intuitive robot control: This demo shows how a robotic hand can be teleoperated using a sensor glove. IMU sensors capture motion data, enabling precise and responsive orientation tracking.
From calculating sensor orientations to translating them into joint angles, the system highlights the complexity behind seamless control. At the same time, it demonstrates the capabilities of new advanced real-time motion processing algorithms and new possibilities for human–machine interaction.
6G-life – Booth Nr. 7
Collaborative Mobile Robotics/Swarm Robotics
Experience the future of networked autonomous systems: This demonstrator showcases a coordinated swarm of drones operating as a unified cyber-physical system. It highlights real-time multi-robot coordination, swarm intelligence, and intuitive human–machine interaction enabled by future 6G robotics. The drones share information and adapt collectively for stable operation in dynamic environments. Such systems enable next-generation applications in search and rescue, inspection, logistics, and smart cities, where multiple autonomous agents must act safely and in tight coordination.
Medical Patient Monitoring Using In-Network MAF Placement
Explore the potential of 6G networks for emerging medical applications: Our demonstrator showcases how network resource optimization and distributed in-network computing can be leveraged to enhance the performance of medical applications.
SLICES
SLICES is designed to support transformative experimental research across the ICT domain. This demonstrator functions as a sophisticated pilot environment, mirroring the architectural capabilities of the full-scale infrastructure. It is optimized for precise measurement and evaluation of 6G technologies, enabling fully reproducible low-latency measurements on the nanosecond scale.
CommUnity – Booth Nr. 8
Microfluidic Molecular Communication
How do we communicate at the micro- or even nanoscale level? This demonstrator shows microfluidic molecular communication using a microfluidic chip and a color-based transmission scheme to visualize the communication process. Visionary applications are lab-on-a-chip and organ-on-a-chip systems for advanced medicine.
Age of Information Demo
Experience the future of real-time intelligence: This demonstrator shows how fresh data enables smarter monitoring and more accurate decisions. Using Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), reliable updates are delivered exactly when needed for autonomous systems and industrial automation. Beyond latency, Age of Information (AoI) measures how current received data truly is, directly influencing safety, responsiveness, and application performance.
QUARKS – Booth Nr. 9
Quantum Communication Network
The quantum internet enables fundamentally new levels of security and scalability for future communication networks. In this demonstrator, we present our 5G-integrated quantum local area network testbeds located at the TU Dresden, demonstrating a working end-to-end hybrid quantum-classical network. We also show the performance of our quantum dot–based entanglement generation and distribution backbone.
Quantum Edge Computing
The internet of the future must support a rapidly growing number of devices, making resilient and adaptable network management increasingly complex, especially with the addition of quantum technologies. This demonstrator shows how quantum computers can address this challenge using quantum computation and quantum twins.
