Abstract

A system and methods are provided for robot-assisted, interactive testing of electronic circuits comprising a test fixture comprising a robotic arm, a probe, and a bracket configured to hold a unit-under-test, wherein the probe is configured to be mounted on the robotic arm and to perform a probe action, and a computer system communicatively connected to the test fixture and comprising a graphicsdisplay, a user input device. The computer system is configured to present on the graphics display a logic schematic of the unit-under-test, to receive a user selection of a target element shown on the logic schematic, to determine the corresponding physical location on the unit-under-test of said element, to move the probe to the physical location of the target element, by means of the robotic arm, and to perform one or more probe actions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to systems and methods for electronic hardware verification, and more particularly to systems and methods for verification by robotic probing of electrical circuits. Background technique [0002] Systems used for circuit verification typically perform automated sequential or parallel probing of multiple locations on the circuit. Such systems are typically used for quality control of manufactured circuits and are difficult to configure as a process for debugging circuits when faults are detected. Therefore, laborious manual work by assigned technicians is often necessary to identify the source of the fault. Contents of the invention [0003] Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for robot-assisted interactive testing and debugging of electronic circuits and other types of electrical, optoelectronic and mechanical units. The system combines the high precision and convenience of robotically controlled prob...
