Abstract:
Techniques are described for controlling distributed operations of devices, such as for devices that are each part of or otherwise associated with a mechanical system containing actuators to manipulate a surrounding environment and optionally further containing sensors to obtain information from the surrounding environment, and with such a device controlling the associated system to perform industrial operations. The described techniques may include identifying a group of multiple such devices to perform one or more assigned tasks, such as in a cooperative distributed manner with each device performing part of the assigned tasks, and/or in a competitive manner with some or all devices independently performing at least one assigned task. The performances of the devices may further be evaluated in various manners, and the devices selected to perform one or more tasks may be identified in various manners (including based at least in part on past performance evaluations).

Claim (Index 57):
The system of  claim 56  wherein the automated operations further include:\n selecting the multiple devices from the plurality of devices based at least in part on one or more characteristics of the multiple devices; \n sending, to at least one of the multiple devices and over one or more networks, first instructions to implement the specified task; \n evaluating performance of the at least some devices in implementing the specified task, including scoring the performance of each of the at least some devices according to one or more specified criteria; \n selecting, based at least in part on the evaluating of the performance, the one or more devices to further perform the specified task; and \n sending, to at least one of the one or more devices, second instructions to further implement the specified task.
