Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for establishing an edge-inclusive real-time multimedia tele-conferencing using tele-robots. Conventional techniques employ a WebSocket connection for the robot-to-edge device (R2E) connection which may not meet expected real-time behaviour. The present disclosure provides a resource-friendly application protocol using WebRTC that enables the same tele-robotic WebRTC session to fork the live feed of the tele-robot for consumption by the edge device. According to the present disclosure, a peer-to-peer connection is established between the plurality of peers by the cloud signaling server, based on the type of the unique type identifier. Then, the live stream of the tele-robot, in the tele-conferencing session, is forked based on the peer-to-peer connection established (i) between the tele-robot and the broadcaster, or (ii) between the tele-robot and the edge device, to obtain a stream forked from the live stream, which is then used for various visual analytics.
