Telepresence system

A telepresence system comprising:

• a man-machine interface,
• a teleoperator, which is designed to bi-directionally communicate over a communication channel with the man-machine interface, and which is designed to perform an action on the basis of first signals generated due to a manual operation of the man-machine interface and transmitted over the communication channel, based on the action performed to respond to its environment and, in response to the reaction to its environment, to send to the man-machine interface assigned second signals through the second communication channel, and
• at least one buffer device, which is adapted to buffer the signals transferred through the communication channel and to release them delayed so that the signals coming from the man-machine interface and the signals coming from the teleoperator each are transmitted through the communication channel with an effective constant time delay,
• wherein the signals coming from the man-machine interface are delayed by a first time which is determined by the difference in time between when a data packet reaches the teleoperator and when the data packet leaves the man-machine interface, and
• the signals coming from the teleoperator are delayed by a second time which is determined by the difference in time between when a data packet reaches the man-machine interface and when the data packet leaves the teleoperator.
