IEEE Standard for Actuator Interface for Cyber and Physical Worlds

The vocabulary, data formats, and application programming interfaces (APIs) for controlling the actuators, which helps enable the definition of interfaces between the cyber world and the physical world, are defined in this standard, including: -Data formats for interfacing actuator commands defining a root schema with individual actuators -Data formats for recognizing actuator capabilities defining a root schema with individual actuators -Data formats for common data types -Application programming interfaces to transmit commands and capability descriptions of the actuators between the cyber and physical worlds
