Yes, there is interest in creating a public JavaFX API for Robot. See
the following:

This is a good reminder, mostly to myself, that I need to do a review of
the proof-of-concept.

Since Java 9 makes com.sun.glass.ui.Robot unavailable, is there any
interest in making it public? There seems to be a bug for it here:
https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8090763#
The TestFX developers also made a proposal (not sure if they shared on this
list):

In addition to their notes, I'd also suggest that keyPress and keyRelease
be handled globally like in AWT Robot. Developers could then press Ctrl +
Tab to change applications, for example.
