Nonlinear Performance Degradation of Vision-Based Teleoperation under Network Latency
This paper introduces the Latency-Aware Vision Teleoperation (LAVT) testbed to systematically demonstrate that vision-based teleoperation for autonomous vehicles suffers a sharp, nonlinear collapse in closed-loop stability when one-way perception latency exceeds 150–225 ms, a degradation significantly compounded by additional control-channel delays.
