Electrically controlled automated devices to control equipment and machinery with remote control and accountability worldwide

This invention describes a system for remotely controlling and monitoring vehicles and other machinery. It uses sensors to gather data about the equipment's status and location, sending this information to a central processing unit. This unit then sends commands to various devices, such as motors, solenoids, or hydraulic pistons, to slow, stop, steer, or secure the equipment. The system can communicate with external networks, potentially over the internet, for long-distance management and even future robotic control.

Why it matters: Filed before ubiquitous mobile internet and cloud computing made real-time, long-distance control of embedded systems feasible and cost-effective. Advances in AI and embedded processing also make the envisioned "full robotics systems" more achievable now.
