"Lucifer" actor Tom Ellis has been shaved by a robotic arm, controlled by a barber 250 miles away, in a new test of the 5G network of British network operator EE.
The demonstration sees a London-based barber use motion capture to remotely shave the actor - who is on Snowdon in Wales - with the barber's movements tracked and sent over EE's public 5G network to be mimicked by the robot shaver.
