Title: Standard for 6G Empowering Robotics: Use Case Scenarios, Requirements, Architectural Impact, and Technical Assumptions

Scope: This standard defines a framework for the International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) working party (WP5D) International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) IMT-2030 (also known as the 6th Generation (6G) of mobile network technology) empowering robotics applications. The framework incorporates potential robotics use case requirements, 6G enabling technologies, and defines the architectural impact necessary to enhance robotics and automation processes. Additionally, the framework includes a reference model and architecture, which defines functional requirements, common architectural entities, interfaces between those entities, and the mapping of functions to those entities. The standard specifies wireless connectivity, sensing and positioning capabilities for addressing robotics application requirements for perception, cognition, and actuation that can be employed to advance operational reliability, capability, and efficiency. 6G enabling robotics encompasses mission critical applications (e.g., disaster recovery), as well as health care assistance, industry-related scenarios, remote operation, automation, and inventory management.
