Abstract: A surgical robotic testing unit for testing a surgical robotic system, the surgical robotic system comprising a first subsystem configured to generate a first signal having a first characteristic behaviour and a second subsystem configured to receive the first signal and to respond to the received first signal, the testing unit being configured to: emulate the first subsystem by: generating an emulated signal representative of the first signal of the first subsystem, the emulated signal having an emulated behaviour that exceeds a boundary of the first characteristic behaviour of the first signal, such that the testing unit is operable to test the second subsystem beyond the capability of the first subsystem; transmitting the generated emulated signal for receiving at the second subsystem; and receiving a response signal from the second subsystem indicative of the response of the second subsystem to the emulated signal; analyse the received response signal; and determine a state of the second subsystem based on the analysis.
