Wireless module maker Fibocom Wireless (300638.SZ, 0638.HK) and Shanghai-based teleoperation specialist Intedigo announced on July 18, 2026 that they are jointly running a cross-regional, beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) teleoperation demonstration at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) 2026. The demo, running from July 17 to 20 at Booth H3-C408, lets visitors enter a remote driving cockpit and control a real race car at HURA PARK in Jiading, Shanghai in real time.
A closed-loop 5G teleoperation showcase
The race car continuously streams live track video, vehicle status and operating data back to the cockpit, while control commands travel the other way, creating a closed-loop teleoperation system. Intedigo's HURA platform supports 1080p at 60Hz video transmission, glass-to-glass (G2G) video latency of less than 80 ms and control latency of less than 10 ms. Fibocom's FM160 5G module, based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon X62 5G Modem-RF System, provides the cellular link, delivering peak downlink speeds up to 3.5 Gbps and uplink up to 900 Mbps in SA mode.
From remote racing to embodied AI
Daniel Liu, CEO of Intedigo, framed the demonstration as a stepping stone toward embodied AI robotics. "5G represents the pinnacle of human communications and the starting point of machine communications. In the past, communications connected people to people; in the future, they will connect people to robots and robots to robots," he said. "HURA makes low-latency remote driving a tangible experience, while RoBOX extends this capability to robots and a broader range of intelligent terminals."
Human-in-the-loop for physical AI
Simon Tao, VP of Wireless Solutions Business Group at Fibocom, said reliable connectivity will become the foundation for telemetry feedback, remote control and operational management as embodied AI enters factories, data centers and logistics operations. Human-in-the-Loop remote intervention remains essential in complex environments and edge cases where fully autonomous behavior falls short. Fibocom said it will continue collaborating with ecosystem partners such as Intedigo to bring cellular connectivity to more robots, autonomous machines and mobile intelligent terminals.
The demonstration lands in a week dominated by embodied AI: read also NVIDIA's Cosmos Coalition with Japan's robotics giants, Yaskawa-SoftBank's VLA wire-harness demo, and Xi Jinping's remarks at WAIC in Shanghai.
