Demystifying Robotic Process Automation (RPA): Everything You Need to Know

TLDRRPA, or Robotic Process Automation, is the use of software with AI capabilities to automate repetitive tasks. It is not a humanoid robot and cannot replicate human cognitive functions. RPA reduces cost, operational risk, and improves accuracy. There are two types of RPA: unattended and attended. Unattended RPA is used for background tasks, while attended RPA assists human workers in real-time. Some popular RPA tools include UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Blue Prism.
