RPA automation
Now that we have a simple understanding of the topology of the RPA software, we need to understand a key concept of RPA automations. There are three types of robots:
- Attended: An attended bot is launched by the business user using the IBM RPA launcher and may prompt the user to provide input, such as a password.
- Unattended: An unattended bot can be scheduled to Windows clients automatically without intervention from any user.
- Chatbot: A bot which can orchestrate a conversation with a human user. (We'll explore chatbots in the next chapter.)
We are now ready to look at a practical example.
