The best way to tell what is going on with your computer is by posting the free EtreCheck report using the Additional Text option when posting. The report contains no personal information, but provides much more detail on the third party apps that may be causing a conflict along with reports of other crashes that may be useful in determining the cause. Most of the time a Panic will be due to third party add ons launching on startup causing a conflict, but it could be hardware related as well.

<< "panic_string":"panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff801966389b): userspace watchdog timeout: no successful checkins from remoted (2 induced crashes). >>
Says remoted daemon wandered off, and did not report in for a very long time. The watchdog timer set to ensure remoted is still running well and is checking in from time-to-time fired.
remoted is a daemon (always running in the background) that discovers remote devices and services.
seeing it become lost is deeply problematic, and an Etrecheck report might turn up WHY.
It appears this is a MacBook Pro 16" (2019) laptop from the "MacBookPro16,1" designation within the Kernel Panic log. There is a very good chance the Logic Board in your laptop is bad since this particular model has an extremely high rate of Logic Board failures....more than any other Mac. There have even been reports from users that their official Apple Logic Board replacements have suffered failures as well....sometimes as soon as they start to use the laptop at home after the repair.
Many times people may have hundreds of these ProxiedDevice-Bridge panics (associated with the T2 chip as @g_wolfman mentioned) along with other non-T2 Kernel Panics.
Personally I don't recommend spending any money on repairs to any 2016-2020 Intel Macs for multiple reasons, but especially not on this particular model. The money spent on repairs is much better put towards a new laptop.
I hope you have good backups of your data.
ProxiedDevice-Bridge panics usually involve the logic board and/or T2 chip (or at least the comms bus it sits on). The last loaded kext was AudioAAUC.
My first guess would be that remoted locked up trying to communicate with something on one of the USB buses, which of course eventually led the watchdog process to panic after remoted was unresponsive for too long.
Oh, I think everything you said was true and correct.
I made some logical inferences based on my reading of the same info (plus the last loaded kext, which is often the one that panics)...but hey, I could be totally wrong. And even if I'm right, "one of the USB buses" could be the internal bus - which is just a nuanced way of saying "logic board failure".
I'm hoping that it turns out to be a USB connected external audio device...but no way to know unless the OP comes back.
Get a degree in computer science, then a masters in Apple languages and get a job in development at Apple and, if you work hard and AI doesn't take your job, progress through the grades until you understand all this stuff.
Thanks for that great insight.
I made the mistake of reading what was showing through the additional text window, and missed that the lines were actually truncated to fit. There was a width slider as well. If i had looked harder, I might have seen that important information.
I am not sure I know enough about it to make the good recommendations you did, but now I know to check that I got the full width of the information available.
