Use Case Evaluation of a Cloud Robotics Teleoperation System (Short Paper)

The paper describes a generic Cloud Roboticsteleoperation system which allows to control in real-Time arobot (connected with a 4G network) having its video streamas feedback. The proposed system relies on the Azure CloudPlatform and on recent web technologies. Particularly, wepresent an use case experiment in which an operator in Slovakiacontrols a robot situated in Italy in order to evaluate its real-Time feasibility. We test the system to assess its performancesproviding the throughput value of the communication and theaverage delay between consecutive received packets on bothrobot and teleoperation side. Additionally, regarding the videostreaming, we test several packet sizes to establish a suitableimage quality. The results show how the chosen technologyallows to have real-Time performances in terms of video andvelocity commands streaming.
