6G-oriented cross-modal signal reconstruction technology by Ang LI, Jianxin CHEN, Xin WEI, Liang ZHOU

“…The average absolute error and accuracy of the constructed video-assisted haptic reconstruction model on the VisTouch dataset reached 0.0135 and 0.78 respectively. In order to implement the proposed cross-modal signal reconstruction framework into practical application scenarios, a teleoperation platform was further built using the robot and Nvidia development board for the industrial scenario of The results of running on this platform show that the actual mean absolute error is 0.0126,the total end-to-end delay is 127ms and the reconstruction model delay is 98ms.A questionnaire was also used to assess user satisfaction,where the mean value of haptic realism satisfaction is 4.43 with a variance of 0.72 and the mean value of time delay satisfaction is 3.87 with a variance of 1.07. …”
