On July 9th, CelcomDigi, the leading telecommunications provider in Malaysia, launched its state-of-the-art AI Experience Centre in Kuala Lumpur. The centre aims to showcase the latest innovations and applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and 5G technologies across various industries and sectors. One of the highlights of the launch event was the demonstration of a 5G-teleoperation robotics solution, developed in collaboration with Weston Robot, the core partner of CelcomDigi and a leading robotics company in Singapore.

The 5G-teleoperation robotics solution is based on the quadruped robotics dog B1 and B2, running with the Robot Assisted Driving Toolbox developed by Weston Robot. The robot dogs are equipped with multiple cameras, sensors, and actuators, and can perform remote surveillance and inspection tasks, especially for the oil and gas industries. The robot dogs can be controlled by operators from anywhere in the world, thanks to the low latency and high bandwidth of the 5G network provided by CelcomDigi. This reduces the travel time and cost of the engineers, and enhances the safety and efficiency of the operations.
