Introduction to Robotics Process Automation

By Abhishek Arora and Dr. Ruchi Kawatra

Today most organizations tend to shift focus toward Robotic Process Automation (RPA), and it is quickly becoming the most desired skill set for both developers starting their careers and seasoned professionals. This book shows how to work on Automation Anywhere, one of the leading platforms widely used for RPA. Starting with an introduction to RPA and Automation Anywhere, it guides readers through the registration, installation and configuration of the Bot agent and Control Room. With the help of easy-to-follow instructions, readers build their first bot and discover how to automate tasks with Excel, Word, Emails, XML and PDF files. Practical examples based on real-world business scenarios give insights into building more robust and resilient bots, executing external scripts such as VB Scripts and Python, and adding error-handling routines. Each command is explained with an example. The content caters to Robotics courses at both UG and PG levels.
