A METHOD OF ENABLING SEMI-AUTONOMOUS OPERATION OF A PLURALITY OF DEVICES

摘要

A method of enabling semi-autonomous operation of a system of devices is disclosed. The method comprises: coupling a control unit to a plurality of devices, each control unit comprising a processor for processing device operational and environment data, means for receiving and transmitting signals, memory means for storing device operational and environment data, and interface means for interfacing the transfer of device operational data between the unit and the device; and, selectively modifying the device operational and environment data in response to the signals received at the means for receiving signals.
