Why delay can appear in live teleoperation

In Live teleoperation, a small delay between:
  • operator input and physical robot motion,
  • digital twin motion in the dashboard, and
  • camera/video stream
is expected and, in practice, unavoidable.

Why this happens

These data paths are real-time but not identical:
  • Robot commands and telemetry pass through edge compute, network transport, and cloud update pipelines.
  • Video passes through capture, encoding, transport, decoding, and rendering.
  • Browser rendering uses independent frame timing and buffering for 3D state and video.
Because each path has different buffering and jitter behavior, perfect frame-by-frame alignment is not guaranteed.

What to expect

  • The platform is optimized for stable real-time operation, not perfect visual sync between all streams.
  • Minor offset between twin motion and video can appear during normal operation.
  • Network conditions, compute load, and stream settings can increase or reduce visible delay.

Current status

This behavior is currently considered expected for Live teleoperation workflows.
