IOT based automation of Hardware-In-Loop test bench

The setup of an automated hardware-in-the-Ioop test bench using the IOT's ethernet facility is proposed in this paper. The implementation of this embedded structure was critical in the COVID-19 scenario for sticking to social distancing guidelines. The key hardware used to automate the manual test benches for in-house development of this embedded solution is an Arduino UNO with an Ethernet shield. Automated test bench setups have benefits over manual test bench setups, such as shorter testing times and no manual effort. The results show that the proposed automated hardware-in-the-loop test bench setup was successfully implemented, with the added benefit of internet of things using an Arduino Uno ethernet shield.
