The primary difference is that Robot is not based on PyTest, it is a replacement for PyTest, and is widely used to create end-to-end tests for mobile and web applications. For mobile applications, the Appium library allows us to write Robot Framework tests that control mobile applications on a real device, while the Selenium library provides a complete integration with web browsers, which means that the Robot Framework allows us to write tests that drive a real web browser...
