1. An automated window mechanism, comprising:
a motor coupled to a window and configured to move the window relative to a window frame, the window having a defined path of motion including a first end point and a second end point;
a force measurement component operably coupled to the motor and configured to measure a force exerted by the motor as defined by one or more of current, voltage, or velocity of the motor;
a processor; and
memory storing one or more computer-readable instructions executable by the processor to perform acts comprising:
storing a force map defined as a force as a function of position of the window relative to the frame, wherein deviation from the force map is monitored by a polling component having a predetermined polling rate for checks of deviation from the force map, and wherein deviation from the force map by more than a predetermined tolerance causes the motor to stop; and
upon reaching a proximate closing zone a predefined distance from one or more of the first or second end points, instructing the motor to operate in a safe state.
