  • Publication number: 20250189965
    Abstract: A system is disclosed. The system has an ultra-low latency data and video streaming module, comprising computer-executable code stored in non-volatile memory, a processor, a control center device, and a plurality of vehicle, robot or drone units that operate remotely from the control center device, each of the plurality of units including a control device. The control module, the processor, the control center device, and the control devices are configured to video stream using one or more camera modules disposed at each of the plurality of units, transfer the video streams from the control devices to the control center device.

  • Publication number: 20240198751
    Abstract: A method for controlling a mechanical assembly that includes a damping assembly is disclosed. The method includes providing one or more sensors at at least one of the mechanical assembly or a generator assembly that is operably connected to the mechanical assembly, providing an electrical circuit that is electrically connected to the generator assembly, sensing data of the at least one of the mechanical assembly or the generator assembly using the one or more sensors, varying an electrical load on the generator assembly using the electrical circuit based on the sensed data, and varying a mechanical force transferred between the generator assembly and the mechanical assembly based on varying the electrical load.

  • Patent number: 11713060
    Abstract: A system is disclosed. The system has a control module, comprising computer-executable code stored in non-volatile memory, a processor, a control center device, and a plurality of autonomous devices that operate remotely from the control center device, each of the plurality of autonomous devices including a control device. The control module, the processor, the control center device, and the control devices are configured to collect data using one or more collection devices disposed at each of the plurality of autonomous devices, process the collected data using the control devices disposed at the plurality of autonomous devices, transfer the processed data from the control devices to the control center device when the plurality of autonomous devices are autonomously operating without control by the control center device, and train artificial intelligence as a function of the processed data transferred from the control devices.
