Appium Robots
Robots are an add-on for appium that will send all touch actions through a robot instead of to the automation framework.
1.) To launch a robot server choose a robot in the bots folder, for this example we will use Bitbeambot.
cd bots/bitbeambot
node server.js
2.) Calibrate the robot
appium --udid [udid here] --app RobotCalibration.app --pre-launch
node calibrate.js -o /path/to/calibration.json
3.) Launch the Robot Server With Calibration
node server.js -c /path/to/calibration.json
4.) Launch Appium Server in Robot Mode
appium --udid [udid here] --robot-address 0.0.0.0 --robot-port:4242
