Robots and Their Types
• Introduction to Robots
• Types of Robots
• Attended Robots
• Unattended Robots
Introduction to Robots

Robots are UiPath’s execution agents that enable the user to run processes developed in Studio.

Improve process Mimic human actions

efficiency & save time

Are non-invasive Perform actions on

and can work 24/7 applications, files, & data

Work on predefined rules Perform complex calculations

for decision-making
Types of Robots

Robots are of two types:

Operate with Triggered Operate without Work standalone

human by user human in virtual
intervention events intervention environment
Attended Robots

What do they do?

Collaborate with a human
worker for small and repetitive
How do they work? tasks
Triggered by users or
specific user events
Where do they run?
On the same machine on
which the user performs the
day-to-day tasks
Unattended Robots

What do they do?

Run long processes or automations
without human interaction
How do they work?
Controlled through
Orchestrator
Where do they run?
On any machine connected
to Orchestrator

• Debugging Panels
• Common Automation Issues
Automation Debugging

Process of identifying and removing the errors which prevent the project from functioning correctly. In
Studio, debugging is:

Useful for verifying the

data that each activity Done at activity, file,
gets during execution & project level

Done using options

available in Debug
Ribbon
Used for finding & locating
problems easily in complex
workflows
Debugging Activities

The activities for debugging are:

• Debug File • Step Into • Retry • Breakpoints • Log Activities

• Stop • Step Over • Ignore • Slow Step • Continue on Exception
• Step Out • Restart • Execution Trail • Picture in Picture
• Focus • Highlight Elements • Remote Debugging
• Open Logs
Debugging Activities (Contd.)

Debug File Step Over

1 Starts the debugging process
4 Debugs the next activity without
opening it

Stop Step Out

2 Stops the debugging process
5 Pause execution at current

sequences

Step Into Retry

3 Debugs the activities step-by-step 6 Re-execute previous activity
