Tapster’s robots are built to poke touchscreens

Looks like a fun project, of course I wonder how much it would cost for 10 to 15 robots so that you could build your own little mobile ad click fraud farm.

Just out of curiosity, since the creator seems to be on this thread, I have a question:<p>I&#x27;m sure there&#x27;s an optimal &quot;taps per second&quot; number, where once you go over that threshold, the screens are unable to recognize the distinction. Can you share those numbers if you have one? Super interested.

In the context of automation (and click farms) if you are not testing the touch screen obviously, I think better approach can be by man in the middle attack with touchscreen and board. Or even emulate screen interface totally. I dont know if has anyone tried that before

I always wanted to build a Lego robot to do UI automation on our Windows apps and embedded devices. Point a camera at the screen, recognize screen elements and then let the robot do the clicking.

These are rather fun. Our company has a more expensive oneoff solution, a traditional six-axis robot which we use for testing chip-and-pin integration by pressing the buttons on the pinpad.

Neat! I always wondered how hard it would be to build a machine to play those reaction-based ticket and prize redemption games.

Ugggggggghhhgh. The repercussions of this, I don&#x27;t want to think about.
