Lesson overview
We'd all like to have a helping hand to handle our most tedious tasks, don't we? In this lesson, we'd like to introduce you to that special someone... well, more like a bunch of them. Discover our automation robots and how they can work for you and with you!
How do I work with a robot?
A robot is a robot, right? In some ways, that’s true. In our context, robots execute automations that people build. They are basically a series of steps that tell the robots exactly what to do.
In UiPath, robots come in more than one flavor. Here's a detailed overview of the unattended and attended robots:
Question
Unattended
Attended
What it is
This type of robot operates with minimal human intervention, executing fully automated processes that involve high-volume transactions. It's typically used in task-intensive back-end environments.
This type of robot operates on your computer, becoming your trusted ally, enhancing both quality and productivity. It takes charge of repetitive tasks, enabling you to accelerate processes promptly.
Where
Unattended robots are deployed on dedicated workstations, servers, mainframes, or web services.
On your PC, laptop, or departmental server.
Trigger types
Unattended robots are triggered:
Attended robots can be triggered:

Automation models
Business procedures can differ greatly depending on the industry. Some are straightforward, going from A to B, while others involve multiple interactions from people and systems to move forward.
In some cases, a process might need to repeat certain steps to achieve the intended result.
Basically, these business processes take time, focus, and energy, as their characteristics and intricacies change from one industry to another.
Lesson summary
In conclusion, attended bots operate on a user's computer, helping them with tedious tasks and speeding up certain processes. Unattended bots perform fully-automated processes with little to no human interference.
UiPath offers six automation models to accommodate various processes and industries, differing mainly in levels of human-bot engagement.
