Mobile Agents

iOS/Android automation — emulator + vision + Appium/ADB. New frontier.

3 hours1 resources

Mobile agent ecosystem is newer. Stack:

  • Appium / ADB — programmatic device control
  • Emulator (Genymotion, iOS Simulator) — sandbox
  • Vision LLM — UI element detection
  • Mobile-Agent (X-PLUG): research paper + reference impl

Use cases: mobile app QA automation, user proxy (acting on user's behalf inside apps), accessibility.

Still research/early stage — not production-ready but growing in 2026.
