Validated Architectures using private 5G for teleoperation, collaborative operation for ASVs/AGVs (ValArch5G).

The introduction of 5G cellular networks opens a huge potential for new industrial time-critical applications and to lower design times of time-critical applications. However, this far, there is no proven evidence that private 5G can offer the reliable and low-latency (<10 ms) end-to-end communication needed to support robust, time-critical control algorithms for teleoperation and collaborative operation in industrial and offshore environments. The ValArch5G project investigates whether private 5G meets the requirements of availability and reliability. Hereto, we develop an end-to-end communication digital twin (based on real measurements), a predictive QoS map and an adaptive closed-loop control strategy. These developments are validated by implementing them in use cases including 1) the teleoperation of an AGV/ASV using a common private 5G network infrastructure, 2) an AGV/ASV controlled over a network, 3) collaborative control between AGV and machine
