Robots

A robot is a software agent that runs your automated process.

Robots in Robot Cloud

Robots in the Robot Cloud are executable software entities that you create using Robot Studio. They are designed to interact with systems, apps, and data in a similar way a human user would, automating repetitive or complex tasks.

Creating and Publishing Robots

You can create a robot using Robot Studio and then publish it to Robot Cloud. This process is detailed in the Publishing Robots guide.

Workspaces

Robots are stored inside Workspaces in Robot Cloud. Each Workspace acts as a distinct environment where robots can be organized, managed, and deployed.

Deployment to Hosts

After you publish a robot, you can deploy it to a host. A host is a remote machine that will run the robot's tasks. This requires the host to be connected and available. More details can be found on the Hosts page.

Viewing Published Robots

Once a robot is published, it appears as a published robot in the Robot Cloud UI. Here, you can manage and control your robot's settings and deployment status.

Deploying Robots

In order for a robot to perform tasks, it needs to be deployed to a host. This can be done manually or through the creation of a schedule or trigger. More details on these methods are available in the respective guides:

• Running Robots Manually

• Creating a Schedule

• Setting up Triggers

In each of these methods, the deployed robot can then proceed to execute its tasks, providing automation in your chosen environment.
