Abstract
Intelligent systems that central physical tasks all need to turn intent into action. The end result is the generation of controlled motion, whether it´s for an industrial process, the movement of a machine or vehicle, or movement of a mechanism for a specific function. In this context, RedZone Robotics has developed the Distributed Control System, a low-level distributed controller. Originally designed as an onboard controller for intelligent military vehicles, DCS has versatility that permits a wide range of intelligent system applications. Its design easily allows the layering of higher levels of intelligence on top of it
