Robotic Process Automation - UiPath RPA Developer Masterclass - Introduction to RPA – What and How

The video tutorial introduces Robotic Process Automation (RPA), explaining it as software that automates manual, repetitive tasks. It highlights RPA's ability to perform tasks across applications using a graphical user interface without altering existing IT infrastructure. The tutorial covers RPA's technical aspects, including its noninvasive nature and capabilities like image and text recognition. It also discusses implementation methods, such as attended and unattended robots, and concludes with a demo by Deloitte using Automation Anywhere software.
