Project background
Even highly autonomous robots occasionally need human intervention. The client wanted a cellular teleop capability so operators could step in from anywhere, not just on-site.
Challenge
Keeping end-to-end latency low enough for safe control over variable cellular links, preserving security, and building an operator interface that degrades gracefully when bandwidth drops.
Approach & solution
We built a teleop stack on WebRTC with adaptive bitrate video, a dedicated control channel, and a secure gateway. The operator UI shows link health prominently and automatically ramps down command authority as conditions worsen.
Results & benefits
Operators can take over remotely with latency low enough for confident steering across typical cellular conditions. When the link degrades, the robot reverts to safe-hold rather than executing stale commands.
