From October 7 to 9, 2025, researchers from Germany and Japan met at Europe's largest training ground for emergency services in Weeze to validate research results on the resilient control of rescue robots. Appropriately, most of the Japanese partners were connected live from Sendai in Japan.

The Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space (BMFTR) is involved in several German-Japanese 6G cooperation activities. At the training base in Weeze, teams from the German 6G research hubs 6GEM and 6G-life and researchers from the Japanese National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) demonstrated 6G network solutions for mobile rescue robots. The event was organized by the German Rescue Robotics Center (DRZ) as part of the BMFTR's German-Japanese 6G cooperation activities. The deployment scenarios primarily depicted search and rescue (SAR) operations and chemical incidents.
