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 49):
The computer-implemented method of  claim 48  wherein selecting of the one device as the host device for the group of devices is performed by the centralized server system before the sending of the first instructions,\n wherein the method further comprises selecting, by the multiple devices, and during the performing of the one or more tasks after the at least one network connection becomes unavailable, a new host device for the group of devices to manage further performing of the one or more tasks, \n and wherein the providing of the information to the centralized server system is performed at least in part over at least one additional network connection created between the centralized server system and the new host device.
