With UiPath, there are a bunch of automation categories that can help you get
things done faster and easier!
1. Robotic Process Automation: create software robots that mimic human
actions and effortlessly engage with digital systems.
2. Task Automation: automate routine (repetitive and mundane) activities.
3. Business Process Automation: automate entire business processes by
seamlessly connecting multiple tasks and systems.
4. Test Automation: automate the testing of apps and systems.
5. AI and Machine Learning Integration: incorporate intelligent automation into
workflows.
6. Process Mining and Discovery: analyze existing processes to identify
automation opportunities.
Automation Categories

RPA is the technology that enables a software program to mimic human actions while
interacting with computer applications to accomplish required tasks.
Some human interactions that can be automated are:
What is RPA?
Mouse movements and
clicks
Keyboard inputs Reading computer screen
11
RPA
Mimics human action
Quick to implement
and powerful to scale
Operates any
application
No mistakes and
without resting
Structured reading
and actioning data
What is RPA?
12
What RPA is not?
Walking and Talking Robots or Humanoid
Warehouse Robots
Human Replacements
13
Here are some of the tasks that can easily be handled over to Robots.
What can Software Robots do?

UiPath End-to-End
Automation Platform
22
The UiPath Suite has three core components, which are are:
UiPath Platform
Execute workflows and
instructions
Control, manage and
monitor the robots
Design automation
workflows visually, with
minimal use of code
Deploy Execute
Robot
Studio Orchestrator
23
UiPath End-2-End Automation Platform
Discover Build Manage Run Engage Measure
Discover what to
automate with
process mining
powered by AI
Professional
developers, citizen
developers, and
employees create
automations
Securely deploy
and manage
automations from
anywhere, at scale
Robots work with
your applications
and your people
to carry out
automations
People and robots
work together to
automate complete
processes
Embedded
analytics give you
deep insights into
business metrics,
not just robot
