UiPath Robot について

UiPath Robot とは

The UiPath Robot is a key component of the UiPath platform, designed to interact with various applications and systems, similar to a human user. It can execute complex workflows and process large amounts of data with speed and accuracy.

In the UiPath context, it is important to differentiate between a Robot and an automation. A Robot is the entity that performs task, whereas an automation is the programmed task performed by the Robot.

Automation types

There are two types of automations:

Attended automation, which is triggered by the user and usually requires human interaction, running on the user machine.
Unattended automation, which is managed by Orchestrator and operates independently, often running in the background or during non-working hours, on a separate machine.

UiPath Assistant

An important agent of attended automations is the UiPath Assistant. It provides a user-friendly interface that allows easy interaction between you and the Robot, so you can run automations directly from your desktop.

Integration with UiPath Apps

The integration with UiPath Apps blurs the line between attended and unattended automations. With Apps, you can Apps can trigger unattended automations in an attended manner - you manually start the automation, but then the operation is executed independently, much like unattended automation.

主な機能

Automated workflow execution: UiPath Robot can execute predefined automation workflows, performing tasks exactly as programmed, at high speed and zero errors.
Attended and unattended automations: Able to work under human supervision (attended) or autonomously (unattended), driving flexibility and efficiency.
Beyond traditional RPA - The capability to incorporate automation into your own applications. With UiPath Apps and Forms activities, you can build customized applications and create user-friendly forms within their automation workflows.
Integration with UiPath Orchestrator: The ability to be managed remotely via the Orchestrator, enabling centralized deployment, logging, and auditing.
Advanced scheduling capabilities: Robots can work around the clock and can be scheduled to run tasks at particular times via Orchestrator, optimizing resource utilization.
Secure data handling: Security features prevent unauthorized access or leaks; sensitive data used in automation tasks is securely handled and maintained.
Scalability: Robots can be easily extended or multiplied to match increasing workload or tackle new tasks, offering an easy route to scale up automation.
Cross-functional capabilities: Robots can interact with various applications and software systems, from desktop to web and virtual environments.
