Tapster Tbot
Tapster Tbot taps and swipes the touchscreen of a mobile device just like a human finger does. Tbot can be programmed to perform the exact same sequence over and over. The CoreXY design provides a low-profile testing robot at home on the desktop or in the lab. Tbot arrives fully assembled and ready to connect to your laptop with the included USB cable.
Challenge:
A customer needed to tap the touchscreen of a mobile phone and interact with the native apps, but the interaction needed to occur within a small confined space.
Solution:
Tapster Tbot taps the touchscreen with a stylus and fits within a small footprint and low vertical space.
