You don't need a robot or any kind of hardware device for that !
In fact Donninger's original autoplayer - plenty of years ago -
worked with no kind of interface provided by the programs it could
handle.
Donninger published an article describing how he has done it.
Reading that stuff made my neck-hairs stand up, I can tell you -
what a hacking adventure ! He had to figure out a bunch of
"dirty tricks" for every single program, totally different code each - a
mess !
You'll find nobody who will do this for Fritz5 now, Donninger
as the last man, believe me.
Chessbase decided to be spoilers, sadly :-{
