webrtc for video stream is what we have in the pipeline for improving the stream yep!

with congestion control, packet loss mitigation, hardware accelerated encoding, multiple streams, teleop commands on the same channel (required for safety)? Do you host your own TURN server? My point is that robotics companies should focus and push the envelop on the application of their product, not reinvent the wheel on infrastructure and tooling.

i don't know if it is that necessary for just phone control, wdyt?

do you have anything plug-and-play for jetson nano?

I assume you mean Orin Nano? (Jetson nano is EOL and only supports Ubuntu 18). Yes, we have users that run on Orin Nano and it's plug-and-play on any hardware. However note that the Orin Nano doesn't have hardware encoders, so it will take CPU cycles to encode the video, making it a less then ideal choice for teleoperated robots. Cheaper boards like the Orange Pi 5 are a better fit.

All the webrtc-features really only become relevant when you want to control the robot over the Internet, i.e., not just locally where you can assume reliable network.
