Robotics system for verification and validation of smart connected HMI devices and method thereof

A robotic system for verification and validation of one or more smart connected human-machine interface (HMI) devices, comprising:

• a multi-finger modular robotic module to replicate bare human fingers, and one or more of:
• human fingers with glove, water, sweat, and impurities;
• a haptic module to simulate a human finger over a device under test (DUT) by applying a precise force required for a predefined duration and determine the performance of the robotics system based on the precise force and haptic feedback;
• a finger actuator to provide speed, accuracy, and reliable finger movement throughout a life cycle which makes the robotics system capable of running continuously;
• a plurality of vision cameras configured for vision-guided navigation and visual verifications;
• a plurality of vision lights configured for the vision cameras to control the ambient light for better accuracy for a computer vision as well as controllability in a test chamber environmental light;
• a finger rotary module to rotate the multi-finger modular robotic module to a specific angle and aesthetically position the vision cameras on a specific region for the maximum field of view coverage;
• a cartesian robotic arm compatible with one or more of the multi-finger modular robotic module, a plurality of pipetting modules, a pick and place module, a vision inspection module, or a combination thereof;
• an onboard user interface enables monitoring and adjustment of various settings on a test rig;
• and
• a L-shaped door to provide wide openings to the robotics system providing an operating access to a user to mount a test device.
