The upcoming sixth generation (6G) of wireless cellular networks is poised to revolutionize the way we connect and communicate. It will bring forth a host of cutting-edge developments in network infrastructure and emerging technologies, including connected robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain technologies. One of the most significant aspects of 6G is its focus on human-centeredness, a departure from the industry-centric approach of its predecessor, 5G.

In the 6G era, mobile terminals are expected to undergo a significant transformation. Intelligent mobile robots will play a more prominent role, enabling seamless and intuitive interactions between humans and machines. This will lead to a new era of human-robot collaboration, where robots will become an integral part of our daily lives, performing tasks that were once considered impossible or cumbersome.

One of the key technologies that will drive the human-centeredness of 6G is blockchain. Blockchain has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with each other and with technology. It offers a secure and decentralized platform for storing and exchanging data, making it ideal for applications such as secure communication, digital identity, and smart contracts.

In this book, we explore the human-centeredness of blockchain and Web3 economy for the 6G era. Aimed at graduate students, network and blockchain researchers, professionals, engineers, and practitioners, this book discusses the symbiotic relationship between blockchain and other key technologies such as AI and robots. We also put the focus on the Tactile Internet, a new network infrastructure that will enable advanced human-to-machine interaction.

By focusing on the research field of robonomics in the 6G Era, which studies the social integration of robots into the economy and human society, we put the various developed ideas and concepts into the perspective of the future Super Smart Society 5.0.

The 6G era will bring forth a new era of connectivity and innovation, with mobile terminals and intelligent mobile robots playing a central role. Blockchain will be a key technology that will enable the human-centeredness of 6G, providing a secure and decentralized platform for storing and exchanging data. With the advent of the Tactile Internet, we will see a new level of human-machine interaction, leading to a more connected and empowered society.

In conclusion, the upcoming sixth generation of wireless cellular networks is poised to be a game-changer, bringing forth a host of cutting-edge developments in network infrastructure and emerging technologies. By focusing on human-centeredness and the symbiotic relationship between blockchain and other key technologies, we can create a future where technology is seamlessly integrated into our daily lives, enhancing our productivity, efficiency, and overall well-being.
