Computerized simultaneous laser marking and targeting system
First Claim
1. A method for simultaneous marking and guiding for processing of one or more targeted objects, comprising projecting information vectors on the surface of said targeted objects, said reflected information vectors are used as beacon for guidance and as selector to differentiate and identify the targeted objects by the processing units.

Abstract
What is new in this invention, it is the complete automation of the remote marking process. It is completely computer controlled and made possible by laser printer type marking/pointer equipment.
Also, completely new is the concept of embedding digital information into a laser beam or other coherent information vector and attaching this way data/information to any object or place.
New is the idea of using a discrete information vector not only as a beacon but also as a selector for the marking of more than one target objects.
New is the idea of completely software controlled computerized digital marking of places or objects for closing motion control loops. No on-site human operators/soldiers needed. No position sensors needed anymore, nothing is bolted down, easy to reconfigure any environment.
The invention is a major step in robotics and controls, improving considerably the eye-hand coordination of robots, making fully possible the action of the digital world on the real/physical world.

10. A system for simultaneous marking and guiding for processing of one or more targeted objects comprising:
-
a simultaneous marking means composed of; a computer and process control means for command and control of the marking and the processing units, and an input means, having a human-machine interface for manual target and procedure selection, and an input-output means, having a simultaneous discrete targeting equipment for the visual inputs and physical marking of the targeted objects; a discrete guiding means composed of; a discrete decoder means, for reading and decoding the discrete information reflected by the target and selection of the target by the processing unit, and a guiding means, for guiding the processing unit towards the selected target. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
