Sub-100ms Robot Teleoperation: A Latency Engineering Guide — Telemanual
How we keep glass-to-glass teleoperation latency under 100ms across continents: the full budget from capture to command, predictive streaming, edge relays, and jitter buffering.
All posts / ENGINEERING How we keep glass-to-glass teleoperation latency under 100ms across continents: the full budget from capture to command, predictive streaming, edge relays, and jitter buffering. Telemanual EngineeringJune 24, 20267 min read Every teleoperation stack eventually runs into the same wall: it feels fine on a LAN demo and falls apart the moment the operator and the robot are on different continents. The reason is rarely bandwidth. It's the accumulation of small, unglamorous delays — a frame sitting in an encoder queue, a jitter buffer padding for network variance, a…
