du will demonstrate 5G robot control and live streaming – in association with Nokia — at GITEX Technology Week 2017 in Dubai.

The live streaming uses Nokia OZO+ virtual reality camera and OZO Live, a real-time 3D 360 stitching software that delivers live virtual reality broadcasting.

Nokia said the robot shows how 5G can be used for automation in industrial processes, promising substantial improvements in efficient production.

Du’s demo of dual-arm collaborative robot which is connected via 5G to automated parts and material handling platform – shows how 5G’s near-zero latency can visibly transform industrial operations with automated production.

Nokia and du showcase the capabilities of OZO+, a professional virtual reality camera from Nokia Technologies — showing the 3D 360-degree live streaming experience, both at GITEX and on video-sharing websites with a virtual reality headset.

Nokia’s OZO+ virtual reality camera, along with OZO Live, present better live streaming experience using eight cameras and microphones that come together to reproduce 360-degree video and spatial audio.

“du is looking at the potential 5G use cases from now. Demo of dual-arm collaborative robot shows how the 5G’s near-zero latency can transform industrial operations with automated production,” said Saleem AlBlooshi, executive vice president – Infrastructure & Technology, du.
