FastRobot 0.1.0 [ALPHA-2026-06-14] — High-FPS Screen Capture & Native Automation for Java

🤖 The high-performance alternative to java.awt.Robot — 10–17× faster screen capture and 5–15× faster input events using DirectX and GDI.

FastRobot is built for developers who need raw speed. Whether it's high-FPS screen streaming, low-latency bot input, or computer vision at 60+ FPS, FastRobot delivers where the standard AWT Robot fails.

Installation

Option 1: Maven (Recommended)

Add the JitPack repository and the dependencies to your pom.xml:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>jitpack.io</id>
        <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

<dependencies>
    <!-- FastRobot Library -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.github.andrestubbe</groupId>
        <artifactId>FastRobot</artifactId>
        <version>0.1.0</version>
    </dependency>

    <!-- FastCore (Required Native Loader) -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.github.andrestubbe</groupId>
        <artifactId>FastCore</artifactId>
        <version>0.1.0</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Option 2: Gradle (via JitPack)

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.andrestubbe:FastRobot:0.1.0'
    implementation 'com.github.andrestubbe:FastCore:0.1.0'
}

Option 3: Direct Download (No Build Tool)

Download the latest JARs directly to add them to your classpath:

1. 📦 fastrobot-0.1.0.jar (The Core Library)
2. ⚙️ fastcore-0.1.0.jar (The Mandatory Native Loader)

Important

All JARs must be in your classpath for the native JNI calls to function correctly.
