Abstract

Methods and systems for robot functions and user interfaces are described. A server may receive a set of robot parameters, and may predict new parameters based on a robot command. In this manner, a user may receive parameters corresponding to the predicted values and mitigate network and processing latency. In other examples, a robot may provide a forward looking image and a robot speed. When a command to move forward is issued, the server may provide a predicted image and predicted speed. The server may be able to calculate a predicted image and a predicted speed (or other parameter) more quickly than the robot could provide the same information. The predicted information may be displayed on a user interface with a corresponding indication that the values are predicted. The robot may provide the server and the user interface with the actual data when it is available.
