Sastra Robotics: Leveraging Intelligent Robotic Solutions to Transform Testing for a Connected Future

The Silicon Review

Businesses face the challenge of delivering flawless products faster than ever before. Sastra Robotics, a global leader in robotic automation, is rising to this challenge by redefining how physical devices are tested. Founded in 2013 and acquired by SGBI Inc. in 2021 as part of its global expansion, Sastra Robotics operates from its headquarters in Cochin, India, with subsidiaries in the UK and the US. The company specializes in human-like automated functional testing, empowering industries to accelerate product development and maintain market leadership. Recognized as one of the Top 50 Technology Startups by TiE Silicon Valley in 2017 and 2019, Sastra Robotics is driven by a vision of seamless coexistence between humans and intelligent machines, delivering scalable solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible.

Sastra Robotics’ mission is to transform testing processes for industries ranging from automotive to consumer electronics, banking, aviation, medical, and gaming. By developing robotic solutions that mimic human interactions, the company enables businesses to conduct rigorous testing beyond human capabilities, ensuring superior product quality. Its flagship product, QUACO, is a game-changer, offering unmatched productivity and precision. With a client base that includes some of the world’s most respected enterprises, Sastra Robotics combines innovation, execution, and excellence to help companies thrive in a competitive landscape, making automation accessible and impactful.

Redefining Testing with Intelligent Robotics

Sastra Robotics’ QUACO system is at the heart of its revolutionary approach. Unlike traditional manual testing, which is time-consuming and limited by human capacity, QUACO operates 24/7, 365 days a year, executing complex test cases with remarkable efficiency. A single QUACO unit can perform over 365,000 moderately complex test cases annually, compared to a manual tester’s capacity of 14,400. This translates to a 25-fold increase in productivity, allowing businesses to dramatically reduce time-to-market. In terms of speed, QUACO delivers the equivalent of 43,200 manhours per year, surpassing human output by more than 20 times.

The system’s versatility makes it a perfect fit for diverse industries. For automotive companies testing in-vehicle infotainment or cockpit clusters, QUACO Pro provides comprehensive functionality testing. For those needing cloud-integrated test farms, QUACO Hybrid offers a scalable solution. When performance evaluation of touch elements is required, Sastra Robotics integrates additional accessories to deliver precise feedback, ensuring seamless integration with its software suite. This adaptability allows the company to meet the specific needs of clients in consumer electronics, banking, aviation, medical devices, smart gadgets, and gaming, ensuring every product meets the highest standards.

Simplifying Automation with AI-Powered Testing

Sastra Robotics takes automation a step further with its AI-driven testing platform, which eliminates the need for coding expertise. Clients can describe test scenarios in plain English, and the system’s AI generates test scripts automatically, making it accessible to users with no technical background. Tests can be executed using physical robots or through simulation, guaranteeing 100% coverage. The platform also captures bugs automatically and integrates seamlessly with existing workflows, enabling faster product releases. This user-friendly approach puts testing on autopilot, empowering businesses to focus on innovation rather than repetitive tasks.

The company’s commitment to simplicity doesn’t compromise on precision. By mimicking real human interactions, QUACO ensures devices are tested exactly as end-users would interact with them. Whether it’s a smartphone, an ATM, or a medical diagnostic tool, Sastra Robotics’ solutions deliver exhaustive testing that uncovers issues early, saving time and resources. This focus on quality has earned the trust of global OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and service providers who rely on Sastra Robotics to maintain their competitive edge.

A Vision for Human-Machine Collaboration

Sastra Robotics envisions a future where intelligent machines amplify human potential. By automating repetitive and complex testing tasks, the company frees engineers to focus on creative problem-solving and strategic innovation. This human-machine collaboration not only boosts productivity but also enhances job satisfaction, creating a workplace where technology empowers people. For businesses, the result is faster innovation cycles, higher-quality products, and the ability to stay ahead in fiercely competitive markets.

The company’s global expansion under SGBI Inc. reflects its ambition to bring this vision to life worldwide. With subsidiaries in the UK and US, Sastra Robotics is well-positioned to serve a growing client base, delivering solutions tailored to regional and industry-specific needs.
