Recently,“ Local 5G (L5G) ” has been attracting attention as one of the new communication systems, and it has been applied to robot systems because of its features such as low communication delay, multiple simultaneous connections, and large capacity data transmission and reception. In this paper, as one of those efforts, we developed an autonomous mobile robot that performs autonomous driving remotely using local 5G. Furthermore, we conducted driving experiments of the autonomous robot running software in an external server via L5G or inside the robot. Finally, we evaluated the results by comparing the error between localization results and the robot’s actual position to investigate the effects of L5G communication characteristics on the robot’s behavior. As a result, no influence on the accuracy of localization or action.
