In a tech-centric world, we constantly interact with Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) through smartphones, appliances, and industrial systems. With critical technology integrated into everyday objects, from baby toys to life-saving devices like defibrillators, comprehensive testing is essential throughout every product’s lifecycle. While software automation covers 30-50% of test cases effectively (especially in regression scenarios), manual testing is indispensable for aspects such as usability, user experience, and edge cases.

However, the rising demand for flawless technology—spanning complex infrastructures from fintech to aerospace—has exposed gaps in human-led testing efforts. With thousands of QA professionals involved worldwide, the existing workforce cannot keep pace with rapidly evolving systems. Robotics-driven testing is now a critical component of next-gen testing methodologies, helping to alleviate bottlenecks and improve accuracy.

The Role of Robot-Aided Testing: Introducing QUACO PRO

This is where SGBI’s robotic solutions come into play. The QUACO PRO platform, a leading innovation from SGBI Inc., automates intricate test scenarios, enhancing both speed and precision. Available in different models tailored to specific needs, QUACO solutions offer force-controlled touch modules, haptic feedback analysis, AI-powered multimodal testing, and remote operation capabilities. Both models are integrated with AI-driven test generation and computer vision tools, enabling non-intrusive testing across hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) scenarios. These systems allow QA engineers to test in real-world conditions with minimal manual effort, ensuring high efficiency and faster time-to-market.

Addressing Recent Product Recalls with Robotic Testing

Recent high-profile recalls underscore the need for enhanced system testing. For instance, automakers like Tesla have issued recalls due to software flaws impacting safety features, while consumer electronics companies like Apple have faced issues with faulty batteries. Such incidents illustrate how incomplete testing can lead to costly market setbacks and reputational damage. By employing robot-aided regression testing, companies can minimize these risks, ensuring more reliable performance under real-world conditions.


The robotic solutions from SGBI offer a remedy for these challenges by automating repetitive tasks, enabling continuous integration (CI) of testing within development workflows. The QUACO test suite, for example, reduces testing time by up to 60% while ensuring comprehensive coverage across various device functionalities, from touch interfaces to voice recognition systems. This enables teams to deliver higher-quality products, eliminating issues that could lead to recalls or failures in critical applications.

A Future of Safe and Efficient Technology

SGBI’s robotic platforms, including QUACO, are transforming the way industries approach HMI testing. We head to a platform to test anything which humans are interacting and establish a global standard in testing HMI devices. Our solutions are already trusted across multiple sectors such as fintech, automotive, and aerospace, providing a 10x productivity boost compared to conventional automation methods. With Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) and Testing-as-a-Service (TaaS) models, companies can easily adopt these cutting-edge technologies without significant infrastructure overheads.
