Just giving a look at the API http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/Robot.html, anyone who do this should know that via Robot Class there is no "trackComponent(Component specificComponent)" method, you got 2 things that may help you:

1-getPixelColor (more than help, seems useless for you by now, maybe i'm wrong).
2-createScreenCapture.

the second method is maybe the answer for your problem, you could take a picture of the screen and with some image processor (javaCV could help you on this: https://code.google.com/p/javacv/) you could then track the components on the screen you took (for instance: from pixels xxx to pixels yyy is the Address bar of browser), of course you need to read some documentation about javaCV (OpenCV) for get this done, after that just use the method for move cursor and enter keys for fill the components, hope someone give a simpler way to do this, but i think this way you learn a bit of JavaCV a really powerful tool.
