Robotic Process Automation

Preface

The book discusses advanced working with digital systems and software. The book’s RPA (Robotic Process Automation) software approach makes it straightforward to build, use, and manage software robots that replicate human motion. Software robots are like humans in that they can read what’s on a screen, input the right keys, navigate systems, find, and extract data, and do a wide range of specified tasks. Without the need to get up and stretch or take a coffee break, software robots can complete the task faster and more accurately than people. Robotics encompasses a variety of disciplines, including mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering, information technology, mechatronics, electronics, bioengineering, and command and software engineering.

The science of building robots that can stand in for people and replicate their behavior is known as robotics. Robots are applicable to a wide range of situations and for a wide range of purposes, although many are currently used in dangerous environments (such as particle inspection, bomb detection, and disposal), manufacturing processes, or in environments where humans cannot survive (e.g., in space, underwater, in high heat, and for the clean-up and containment of hazardous materials and radiation). Robots try every human behavior, including moving, lifting, talking, thinking, and cognition. Bio-inspired automation is a developing field since so many of today’s robots are affected by nature. Some of the tasks include ...
