How does robotic process automation work?

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a technology that utilizes software robots or artificial intelligence to automate repetitive tasks and processes within a business. It works by mimicking human actions on a computer system, using predefined rules and algorithms. RPA software robots can interact with various applications, databases, and systems, just like a human user, through the user interface. They can perform tasks such as data entry, data extraction, form filling, report generation, and more. The software robots follow a set of rules and instructions defined by the organization or user, allowing them to execute end-to-end processes accurately and efficiently. RPA not only saves time and effort but also provides accuracy, consistency, and scalability in performing routine tasks, freeing up human workers to focus on more value-added work.
