Building a Robot Teleoperation System for Data Collection If you're training robot policies with imitation learning, the quality of your dataset almost entirely depends on how good your teleoperation system is. A clunky, high-latency teleop rig produces jerky, inconsistent demonstrations — and your policy will happily learn those bad habits. This tutorial walks through designing and building a te…
WebRTC gets robotics teams to a demo fast. It also breaks the moment the robot leaves the lab. If you are running WebRTC today, the question is not whether you will outgrow it but when, and what the next six months of engineering will be spent on while you do.
In real-life teleoperation scenarios, the presence of time-varying network delays, particularly in wireless networks, poses significant challenges in maintaining stability in a bilateral teleoperation system. Various approaches have been proposed in the past to address stability concerns; however, these often come at the expense of system transparency. Nevertheless, increasing transparency is cru…
