You can create an attended or an unattended robot in RPA Hub to run the bot process, if you have the RPA admin role or RPA release manager role.
What is a robot
A robot runs a bot process (automation). Robots are designed to interact with software applications, data sources, and user interfaces like a human operator would, but in a more efficient, accurate, and consistent manner.
Types of robots in RPA Hub
These two types of robots serve different purposes and are designed to automate different types of tasks within an organization.
Unattended robots run unattended automations that don’t require any human intervention. They work autonomously without human intervention. These robots are typically deployed on servers and can perform tasks without requiring a human user to be present. Unattended robots are best suited for tasks that are highly repetitive, rule-based, and do not require human decision-making during execution. For example, Invoice Processing for Finance Department.
Attended robots run attended automations that require human intervention. They work alongside humans to assist them in their tasks. These robots are typically deployed on the desktops of human users and collaborate with them in real-time. Attended robots are best suited for tasks that require human decision-making, involve interactions with user interfaces, or need input from employees. For example, Guided Data Entry and Validation for Order Processing.
