Transparent Data Reduction in Networked Telepresence and Teleaction Systems. Part II: Time-Delayed Communication

Two of the major challenges in networked haptic telepresence and teleaction systems are the time delay associated with the data transmission over the network and the limited communication resources. Sophisticated control methods are available for the stabilization in the presence of time delay. The reduction of haptic network traffic, however, is only poorly treated in the known literature.
