| description | With the emergence of artificial intelligence and advancements in network technologies, the imminent arrival of 6G is not very far away. The 6G technology will introduce unique and innovative applications of the Tactile Internet in the near future. This paper highlights the evolution towards the Tactile Internet enabled by 6G technology, along with the details of 6G capabilities. It emphasizes the stringent requirements for emerging Tactile Internet applications and the critical role of parameters, such as latency, reliability, data rate, and others. The study identifies the important characteristics of future Tactile Internet applications, interprets them into explicit requirements, and then discusses the associated design considerations. The study focuses on the role of application characteristics of various applications, like virtual reality/augmented reality, remote surgery, gaming, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, brain–machine interface, telepresence/holography, and requirements in the design of 6G and the Tactile Internet. Furthermore, we discuss the exclusive parameters and other requirements of Tactile Internet to realize real-time haptic interactions with the help of 6G and artificial intelligence. The study deliberates and examines the important performance parameters for the given applications. It also discusses various types of sensors that are required for Tactile Internet applications. |
