## The use case: how Polymath deploys LiveKit

Polymath Robotics uses LiveKit's WebRTC media server and LiveKit Cloud to stream low-latency live camera video from off-highway robots and heavy machinery to its Polyglot fleet monitoring and teleoperations tool. Operators use it to watch feeds, redirect vehicles, and trigger emergency stops remotely.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of LiveKit and Polymath, not ours.

> Polymath knew that in order to provide really performant teleoperations, low-latency video streaming had to be a core capability of the platform. The team initially tried other tools, but struggled with laggy videos, unbounded memory usage on robots, and limited technical support.

> LiveKit is a great product with a great team. We've been really happy partnering with them on our robotics platform.

> Low-latency video streaming is existential for any robotics company. We just couldn’t have continued to build our platform if we didn’t have LiveKit.
