Robotic Process Automation Projects

By: Nandan Mullakara, Arun Kumar Asokan

Overview of this book

Robotic Process automation helps businesses to automate monotonous tasks that can be performed by machines. This project-based guide will help you progress through easy to more advanced RPA projects. You’ll learn the principles of RPA and how to architect solutions to meet the demands of business automation, along with exploring the most popular RPA tools - UiPath and Automation Anywhere. In the first part, you’ll learn how to use UiPath by building a simple helpdesk ticket system. You’ll then automate CRM systems by integrating Excel data with UiPath. After this, the book will guide you through building an AI-based social media moderator using Google Cloud Vision API. In the second part, you’ll learn about Automation Anywhere's latest Cloud RPA platform (A2019) by creating projects such as an automated ERP administration system, an AI bot for order and invoice processing, and an automated emergency notification system for employees. Later, you’ll get hands-on with advanced RPA tasks such as invoking APIs, before covering complex concepts such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning in automation to take your understanding of RPA to the next level. By the end of the book, you’ll have a solid foundation in RPA with experience in building real-world projects.

Recapping the UiPath projects

We completed five different projects in this book, which are as follows:

  • We covered attended automation and unattended automation.
  • We looked at projects that included basic to advanced Excel and web automation.
  • The social media moderation project covered automation with the Google Cloud API using A.
  • We were introduced to ReFramework and learned how to interact with UiPath orchestrator queues.
  • In this chapter, with the RPA challenge, we learned how to handle dynamic elements on a web page.

Next, let's try to understand the Automation Anywhere cloud A2019 platform and see how we can complete the same challenge with Automation Anywhere.
