IEEE Global Communications Conference
IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM) is one of the IEEE Communications Society’s two flagship conferences dedicated to driving innovation in nearly every aspect of communications. Each year, more than 3000 scientific researchers and their management submit proposals for program sessions to be held at the annual conference. After extensive peer review, the best of the proposals are selected for the conference program, which includes technical papers, tutorials, workshops and industry sessions designed specifically to advance technologies, systems and infrastructure that are continuing to reshape the world and provide all users with access to an unprecedented spectrum of high-speed, seamless and cost-effective global telecommunications services.
The 2025 IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM) will be held in the lively and picturesque city of Taipei, Taiwan, from 8 to 12 December 2025. Themed “Sustainable Communications for Ubiquitous Intelligence,” this flagship conference of the IEEE Communications Society will feature a comprehensive high-quality technical program including 12 symposia and a variety of tutorials and workshops. IEEE GLOBECOM 2025 will also include an attractive industry program aimed at practitioners, with keynotes and panels from prominent research, industry and government leaders, business and industry panels, and technological exhibits.

one6G endorses an Industry Panel “6G Meets Robotics – Intelligent, Safe, and Collaborative Automation” taking place on Thursday, December 11, 2025, at 8:30 – 10:00 am.
As we advance into the 2030s, the integration of robotics with 6G’s hyper-reliable, low-latency, and AI-native capabilities presents a transformative opportunity. This panel will delve into the cross-disciplinary challenges and innovations necessary for the seamless integration of robotics into mobile networks. Key topics will include AI-native design, in-network computing, and evolving business models focused on human-robot collaboration. Bringing together operators, vendors, robotics experts, and end users, this session aims to create a shared vision for the future of automation. By addressing both technical and operational requirements, we ensure that emerging technologies are practical, scalable, and secure. This panel will be a platform for addressing challenges, and new opportunities in the evolving landscape of connected robotics and 6G in future of automation in an intelligent, safe and interconnected environment.
Key Discussion Questions
1. For Operators: What enhancements are needed for the integration of robotics into 6G networks?
2. For Vendors: How can your innovations meet the unique requirements of robotics applications within a 6G framework?
3. For Vertical Users: What industry challenges can be addressed by combining robotics with 6G technology?
4. For Academics and Researchers: What research advancements are necessary for understanding AI-native design in robotics within 6G systems?
5. For All Panelists: How can we collectively tackle the challenges of standardisation, interoperability, and security in a cloud-native robotics architecture?
one6G also endorses a Workshop on 6G for Connected and Immersive Intelligence taking place on Friday, December 12, 2025, at 2:00 – 5:30 p.m.
This workshop aims to present research progresses, exchange new ideas, identify future directions, and put in perspective two major enablers of next-generation innovation with the potential to fundamentally transform our economy, way of living and communicating and society. It will convene academic and industrial researchers focused on 6G, robotics, and the Metaverse to discuss key challenges, requirements, and opportunities for establishing the connectivity infrastructure essential for both fields. In alignment with its goals, the workshop will invite submissions from diverse research areas related to 6G connectivity for robotics and the Metaverse, along with associated systems and applications.
