1. A method for using a control center at a remote site to control operation of a robotic medical device system at a local site, the robotic medical device system including at least one medical device, and wherein the method comprises:
transmitting a control signal from the control center to the robotic medical device system;
determining a delay based on transmission of the control signal and transmission of an image from the robotic medical device system to the control center;
comparing the delay to a threshold delay value; and
operating the at least one medical device based on the comparison of the delay to the threshold delay value.
 
18. A method for using a control center at a remote site to control operation of a robotic medical device system at a local site, the method comprising:
receiving a control signal from the control center;
determining a delay based on transmission of the control signal and transmission of an image from the robotic medical device system to the control center;
comparing the delay to a threshold delay value;
adjusting a velocity of a medical device of the robotic medical device system when the delay is less than the threshold delay value, the velocity of the medical device being adjusted based on the delay; and
setting the velocity of the medical device to zero when the delay is greater than the threshold delay value.
