摘要 |
A programming interface for a hardware system includes an embedded layer for programmatic access to a physical realization of hardware (216), a simulation system for simulation of the hardware (206), and a diagnostics engine (208) that analyzes and compares feedback data from the simulation system (206) and the physical realization. The programming interface may be usefully employed, for example, in the design, purchase, and deployment of robotics for semiconductor manufacturing.
