TelePi

TelePi is an open-source telepresence platform that allows people to log-into robots and be able to control them remotely in a seamless manner.

Requirements

  • Extendable
  • Multi-user
  • Multiple hardware

Progress

  • Still gathering requirements and doing initial technology tests

Technical details

System diagram

<graphviz border='frame' format='svg' > digraph rfboard{

  rankdir=LR;
  size="8,5!";
  
  client [label="client",shape=box];
  subgraph cluster_0 {

node [style=filled];

       label = "bot";
       web_service [label="web service",shape=box];
       media_streamer [label="media streamer",shape=box];
       hardware [label="control hardware",shape=box];

  }   
  media_streamer -> client [label="media"];

Streaming protocols analysis

Gstreamer
  • Pros
    • Very fast - HW accelerated
    • Flexible to develop upon
  • Cons
    • Tricky to display in browser

MJPEG

  • Pros
    • Great browser support in every browser
    • Speed to be tested, but should be decent
  • Cons
    • High bitrate (~2mbit/s at 720p 15fps)
    • Video only, need a separate solution for audio

ffmpeg + RMTP + JWplayer

  • Pros
    • Decent browser support
  • Cons
    • High latency
    • Needs flash, so won't work on IOS and some browsers
