System, method, computer program and data signal for the registration, monitoring and control of machines and devices

A computing device (or a robotic device or vehicle comprising:

• one or more processors for controlling operations of the computing device;
• a receiver/transmitter or communication interface or module configured to communicate with a server over a network;
• and
• a memory for storing data and program instructions used by the one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors arc configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
• identify or detect at least one unknown, unanticipated, unexpected, abnormal or environmental characteristic or factor;
• send information based on the at least one unknown, unanticipated, unexpected, abnormal or environmental characteristic or factor received from one or more sensors or scanners associated with, on-board, fixed or local to the robotic device or vehicle to an operator, user, host, registry, governing body or service provider using the server;
• receive a command sent by the operator, user, host, registry, governing body or service provider relating to one or more robotic device or vehicle units, modules or systems;
• and
• send the command to the one or more robotic device or vehicle units, modules or systems for execution.

A computer-implemented method for a robotic device or vehicle, comprising:

• identifying or detecting, using one or more processors, at least one unknown, unanticipated, unexpected, abnormal or environmental characteristic or factor if at least one of:
• information received from one or more sensors or scanners about a currently captured operating environment of the robotic device or vehicle contrasting stored, planned or calculated data about the currently captured operating environment, or
• the robotic device or vehicle is located in a specific or particular environment, place, space, area or zone;
• sending information based on the at least one unknown, unanticipated, unexpected, abnormal or environmental characteristic or factor received from one or more sensors or scanners associated with, on-board, fixed or local to the robotic device or vehicle to an operator, user, host, registry, governing body or service provider using a server;
• and
• receiving a command sent by the operator, user host, registry, governing body or service provider relating to one or more robotic device or vehicle units, modules or systems;
• and sending the command to the one or more robotic device or vehicle units, modules or systems for execution.

A system, comprising:

• one or more sensors or scanners associated with, on-board, fixed or local tit a robotic device or vehicle;
• and
• a computing device in communication with the one or more sensors or scanners, comprising:
• one or more processors for controlling operations of the computing device;
• a receiver/transmitter or communications interface or module configured to communicate with a server over a network;
• and
• a memory for storing data and program instructions used by the one or more processors,
• wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
• identify or detect at least one unknown, unanticipated, unexpected, abnormal or environmental characteristic or factor if at least one of:
• information received from the one or more sensors or scanners about a currently captured operating environment of the robotic device or vehicle contrasting stored, planned or calculated data about the currently captured operating environment, or
• the robotic device or vehicle is located in a specific or particular environment, place, space, area or zone;
• send information received from one or more sensors or scanners associated with, on-board fixed or local to the robotic device or vehicle to an operator, user, host, registry, governing body or service provider using the server;
• receive a command sent by the operator, user host, registry, governing body or service provider relating to one or more robotic device or vehicle units, modules or systems;
• and
• execute the command on the one or more robotic device or vehicle units, modules or systems.
