1. A system for automated interaction with a touch-screen device, comprising:
at least one solenoid including an end effector that is tactilely detectable by a touch-screen of the touch-screen device, wherein operation of the at least one solenoid causes the end effector to tactilely engage with a portion of the touch-screen; and
a controller that is operatively connected to the at least one solenoid and to at least one external device, wherein the controller is configured to:
detect, using the connection with the at least one external device, a need for operation of the at least one solenoid to interact with the touch-screen; and
operate the at least one solenoid based on the detection.
