What is RPA?
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the technology that enables a software program to mimic human actions
while interacting with computer applications to accomplish required tasks.
Several technological advancements have helped in the evolution of RPA. Three key predecessors of RPA are:
RPA Automation
It mimics user actions and can cognitively take It does not mimic user actions and only
decisions to perform actions. executes the given program instructions.
RPA is a software robot that mimics human actions, while Artificial Intelligence is the simulation of human
intelligence by machines.
