| 5G+VTuber: Holographic Interactive VR VTuber digital image holographic interactive system can realize real-time interaction between virtual image and audience. Use 5G and cloud distribution techology to relize real-time rendering of the three-dimensional model, then display the virtual image through VR glasses or holographic film, giving the audience a immersive experience. 5G+Factory:Cloud Vision Industrial Inspection Robot Cloud vision based industrial inspection robot levergaes 5G network and AI to realize high manufacturing effiiencies and cost savings. TECH4ALL TECH4ALL is Huawei’s long-term initiative to promote digital inclusion, and to support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Explore how Track.AI helps children with visual impairment, StorySign creates a literacy platform for deaf children, DigiTruck offers digital training in remote locations and other cases showing how people can benefit from ICT technologies. NB-IoT Smart Home to Improve Living NB-IoT is improving our living standards by unleashing the potential in connected devices. Smart water and gas meters can monitor real-time usage and therefore detect pipeline leackage and save natural resource. Smart door locks make property management secure and efficient. NB-IoT smoke detectors can prompt notifications to handsets and engage city fire brigades, giving better protection to our lives and properties… NB-IoT will continue to serve our daily lives. NB-IoT Mould Management to Improve Productivity NB-IoT empowers factory module management. Location and usage of each piece of module can be automatically tracked and logged on the monitoring platform. NB-IoT will build a solid foundation for 5G smart factories by providing massive connections (mMTC). |

![]() Smart Farming: Weed Elimination with 5G Autonomous Robots The project deploys a Robotti robot, a diesel-hydraulics autonomous tool carrier from Danish development company, Agrointelli . The robot was fitted with cameras, to capture images of the plants in the ground, and precision sprayers connected to a tank of herbicide. The image data captured by the camera is sent from the robot to an edge computing server via the 5G connection. Within the edge server, the data is processed through a machine learning algorithm using a complete classification model. In this model, the machine is “trained” to recognise potato plants and deploy a precision application of herbicide. |
