The 21st century is the century of robotics and automation in various fields of engineering to reduce human efforts. Robotics and automation has been proved since long time a helpful process of minimizing human labor and increasing throughput of production. Being a most preferred technology in various ways, it is necessary to design, develop and test the applications of robotics and automation. The design and development is done at various levels with respect to software and also testing of such applications is done on non-hardware platforms. It will be more advantageous to have a hardware platform to test such applications in order to understand its functionality in a better way than non-hardware platform. The paper titled design and development of hardware platform for testing robotics and automation applications is one such non-software platform.
