On October 17, 2025, Associate Professor Manabu Tsukada delivered a presentation titled “6G-Path to Cooperative End-to-End Autonomous Driving” at The 2nd Symposium on 6G Communications (S6GC), held as part of the International Conference on ICT Convergence (ICTC2025) in Jeju Island, Korea.
The symposium, themed “Shaping the Future of 6G: Innovation, Intelligence, and Sustainability,” served as a platform for discussing 6G technology innovation, intelligence, and sustainability. Alongside Professor Tsukada, the symposium featured distinguished speakers including Dr. Luís Cordeiro from OneSource (Technical Coordinator of the EU 6G-PATH project), Professor Jing Li from the University of Bradford, Associate Professor Jorge Bernal Bernabe from the University of Murcia, and Professor Tarik Taleb from Ruhr University Bochum, all leading experts in 6G research primarily from Europe.
As a member of the Advisory Board for the EU project 6G Path, Professor Tsukada had valuable opportunities to exchange insights with project members and fellow experts on the latest research outcomes toward realizing 6G, including results from large-scale pilot trials, AI-driven network management, and privacy-preserving technologies.
Following the presentation, Prof. Tsukada participated in the panel session “AI for 6G and Beyond: Intelligent Networks and Digital Twin Synergies,” where he discussed the critical importance of digital twins in the context of 6G and autonomous driving. The session explored how AI will drive the design, deployment, and operation of 6G networks, and examined the bidirectional relationship between AI-driven digital twins as both a supported application of 6G and a powerful tool to optimize and accelerate its development.
Additionally, Prof. Tsukada had the pleasure of reuniting with Professor Jong-Hyouk Lee from Sejong University, a former colleague from Inria in France, allowing them to deepen their research collaboration.
