Digital proxy simulation of robotic hardware

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:

• creating a digital proxy simulation for a robotic hardware wherein the digital proxy simulation and the robotic hardware share a network interface;
• providing a user with an option to switch between the robotic hardware and the digital proxy simulation;
• and
• upon receiving a user selection, executing the switch between the robotic hardware and the digital proxy simulation, wherein executing the switch includes transferring sensor or user-interface driven input and output signals during or before operation between the digital proxy simulation and the robotic hardware, wherein the robotic hardware includes one or more of a stereo camera and a lidar sensor, wherein, after the switch, the user is controlling one of the robotic hardware or the digital proxy simulation but not both at a given point in time.

A computing system comprising:

• at least one processor, and at least one memory architecture coupled with the at least one processor;
• the at least one processor configured to:
• create a digital proxy simulation for a robotic hardware wherein the digital proxy simulation and the robotic hardware share a network interface;
• provide a user with an option to switch between the robotic hardware and the digital proxy simulation;
• and
• upon receiving a user selection, execute the switch between the robotic hardware and the digital proxy simulation, wherein executing the switch includes transferring sensor or user-interface driven input and output signals during or before operation between the digital proxy simulation and the robotic hardware, wherein the robotic hardware includes one or more of a stereo camera and a lidar sensor, wherein, after the switch, the user is controlling one of the robotic hardware or the digital proxy simulation but not both at a given point in time.
