Introduction to RPA and Automation
A type of robot working on the same machines as the humans, during the same hours. They are triggered directly by humans (usually through UiPath Assistant) or by an event related to what the human user does.
Attended robot
(Automation Lifecycle Stages) Carmen automates her Data Entry tasks using StudioX.
Build
(Automation Lifecycle Stages) Matt documents his work processes in Task Capture before sending it to the RPA Team.
Discover
(Automation Lifecycle Stages) Ben uses UiPath Assistant to start his day. He runs automations developed by the CEO.
Engage
Attended robots cannot run automation processes published to Orchestrator. You can run jobs from Orchestrator both on attended and unattended robots.
False
(Automation Lifecycle Stages) Chloe schedules an automation to run every Monday and Friday.
Manage
(Automation Lifecycle Stages) Marta checks how many hours and how much money were saved by an automation.
Measure
Which type of robot can you provision by using the sign in feature.
Only attended robots
The component of the UiPath RPA Platform in charge of the management of automations, users and robots, as well as the management of the assets used in development or in running automations.
Orchestrator
An automation project published as a NuGet package from the Studio family to Orchestrator or locally.
Package
A package in Orchestrator linked to an Orchestrator folder where human users or robots have access. If stored locally, packages can be used as processes when they are run by attended robots.
Process
Processing invoices - retrieving data from the invoices and storing the values in a database can be performed using...
RPA + AI
(RPA enhancement) Transforming scanned documents from an image to digital text.
RPA + AI Skills
(RPA enhancement) Measuring the amount of money saved by an automation since the implementation.
RPA + Advanced Analytics
(RPA enhancement) The robot is freed to execute another automation while waiting for human confirmation.
RPA + Long-running Workflows
(RPA enhancement) Identifying and sorting documents distinguishing between several types of forms.
RPA + ML Models
(RPA enhancement) Automating SAP through direct integration with the platform instead of relying on User Int.
RPA + Native Integrations
(RPA enhancement) Discovering automation use-cases in the organization by analyzing back-end data.
RPA + Process Mining
What are the core components to the RPA Ecosystem?
Studio, Orchestrator, Robot
Attended users can run automation jobs using UiPath Assistant. Unattended robots are typically deployed on separate machines.

Studio - Building automation projects Orchestrator - Managing automation processes and jobs Assistant - Commanding the attended robots Robot - Running automation jobs Automation Cloud - Managing the users and cloud services

What is the relation between Attended Robot and Assistant?
UiPath Assistant is an interface between the human user and the attended robot. It is the default way to run and customize jobs in attended mode.
A robot typically deployed on a separate machine than any human user. Their jobs are triggered exclusively from Orchestrator. Since robots do not exist as separate entities in Orchestrator, a more technical definition would position unattended robots as execution slots - a user logged in on a machine, executing an automation job, as instructed by Orchestrator.
