  • Patent number: 11142345
    Abstract: A system and method for performing a test procedure on a system under test are provided. An actuation unit operatively coupled to the system under test is configured to perform at least one operation thereon. A visual recognition unit is configured to capture at least one image of the system under test in real-time. A test unit remotely interfaced with the system under test is configured to perform the test procedure. Using the test unit, the test procedure is retrieved from the memory, at least one control signal is output to the actuation unit for causing the at least one operation to be performed in real-time for testing the system under test in accordance with the one or more test instructions, and the at least one image of the system under test is monitored as the at least one operation is performed for validating the test procedure in real-time.
