Abstract
There is provided a method and apparatus for offboard navigation of a 5 robotic device. The method comprising defining a threshold value of a positional accuracy of the robotic device, calculating latency of a network through which the robotic device and a server communicate, the latency of the network being a difference between sending sensor data from the robotic device to the server and receiving processed data corresponding to the 10 sent sensor data by the robotic device from the server, and determining speed of the robotic device based on the threshold value of the positional accuracy of the robotic device and the latency of the network.
