Nokia’s Bell Labs Envisions 5G Spurring Robot Productivity

Fifth-generation wireless technology could deliver ultrafast speeds for virtual and augmented reality entertainment and enable near-instantaneous movie downloads. But Nokia Corp. is betting that the real value for the highly-anticipated emerging technology will be in improving productivity in industries ranging from manufacturing to energy to agriculture.

Nokia, which started researching 5G technology in 2007, recently built a facility at its Bell Labs research and development division to help enterprises envision how 5G and other high-performance networking techniques could, for example, help improve robotic processes in factories and manufacturing floors. The so-called Future X Lab, which includes demonstrations of network connectivity with drones and autonomous robotic arms in factory-like settings, is set to open in April.

“The technology won’t be ready for your industrial needs for a couple of years but 2020 is the year you should have an aggressive plan if you want to be a leading-edge industry (using) high degrees of automation to go after productivity improvements,” said Marcus Weldon, Nokia’s chief technology officer and president of Bell Labs.

In one area of the Future X Lab, users can control a cellular-connected drone through voice commands and a touch screen attached to the user’s wrist. In another, a user can see how cloud-based instructions delivered to a robot arm can be vastly more precise with lower latency connection speeds.

Latency in 5G networks could be 1 millisecond or less, compared to 100 milliseconds with current networking methods, Mr. Weldon said.
