This page explains what Serverless Automation Cloud Robots are and how to set them up.

Serverless Automation Cloud robots make it easy to run background automation without worrying about the necessary infrastructure. They provide you with complete freedom from provisioning, managing, maintaining, and scaling any underlying infrastructure. UiPath handles all the work behind the scenes so you don't have to deal with containers, virtual machines, or physical servers.

In addition to running background automation jobs, Serverless Robots can also be used to execute performance testing scenarios, allowing you to validate automation behavior under load without requiring dedicated infrastructure.

Serverless Robots also execute Agent, Function, and Api jobs through Unified Runtime, the shared execution engine that runs low-code and coded agents consistently. For details, see [Agents and Functions on Local Robots](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/local-agents-and-functions).
