T-Mobile has always been committed to providing our customers with the best product and network experience possible. In 2007, T-Mobile noticed a trend, that as mobile operating systems got more and more sophisticated, software was appearing more frequently as a reason noted for device returns. So an innovative T-Mobile engineer decided to create his own way to test the hundreds of functions on every phone and tablet, he built a robot. Check out our video to see the wireless industry's only custom-built testing robot that can model real consumer behavior and learn how T-Mobile uses it to make sure our customers receive the best experience possible on their mobile devices.

This is a nice looking robot.
 
I did not even know that smartphone testing robots exist. I guest this robot helps save T-Mobile hundreds of dollars an hour instead of hiring many workers a day to test smartphones, and smartphone operating systems and apps. 
 
I'm not sure if it's right to use a robot for this kind of thing.
