Abstract: Automatic data transfer between a source and a target using semantic artificial intelligence (AI) for robotic process automation (RPA) is disclosed. A user may be provided with the option of selecting a source and a target and indicating through an intuitive user interface that he or she would like to copy data from the source to the destination, regardless of format. This may be done at design time or at run time. For instance, the source and/or target may be a web page, a graphical user interface (GUI) of an application, an image, a file explorer, a spreadsheet, a relational database, a flat file source, any other suitable format, or any combination thereof. The source and the target may have different formats. The source, target, or both may not necessarily be visible to the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for configuring an RPA (robotic process automation) platform to perform a candidate process automation are provided. Discovery data relating to a candidate process automation is generated. RPA platform design components for configuring an RPA platform to perform the candidate process automation are generated based on the discovery data. The RPA platform is configured based on the RPA platform design components.

Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) recommendation engine for robotic process automation (RPA) is disclosed. An AI/ML model may be trained to provide recommendations for a next activity, a next sequence of activities, and/or modifications to parameters for one or more existing activities to include during RPA workflow development. The recommendations may be based on the context of where the user is in the RPA workflow. For user interface (UI) automations, the AI/ML model may be linked to an object repository and trained to make recommendations therefrom. The AI/ML model may also be trained to generate new UI descriptors for the object repository.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a workflow specification includes a set of default characteristics of a resource required by a robotic process automation (RPA) robot tasked with executing the respective workflow. Some embodiments enable a user to change the respective default characteristics (e.g., relocate and/or rename a file) without changing the workflow specification per se. Such changes may be performed via a user interface of an RPA orchestrator managing the execution of multiple RPA robots.

Abstract: Web-based robotic process automation (RPA) designer systems that allow RPA developers to design and implement web serverless automations, user interface (UI) automations, and other automations are disclosed. Such web-based RPA designer systems may allow a developer to sign in through the cloud and obtain a list of template projects, developer-designed projects, services, activities, etc. Thus, RPA development may be centralized and cloud-based, reducing the local processing and memory requirements on a user's computing system and centralizing RPA designer functionality, enabling better compliance. Automations generated by the web-based RPA designer systems may be deployed and executed in virtual machines (VMs), containers, or operating system sessions.

Abstract: A computing device including a memory and a processor is provided. The memory stores processor executable instructions for an entity engine. The processor is coupled to the memory. The processor executes the entity engine to cause the computing device to model entities, which hold or classify data. The processor executes the entity engine to cause the computing device to store in the memory a list identifying each of the entities and the entities themselves in correspondence with the list. The processor executes the entity engine to cause the computing device to provide, in response to a selection input from an external system, access to the entities based on the list. The access includes providing the list to the external system, receiving the selection input identifying a first entity of the entities, and exporting the first entity from the memory to the external system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for mapping interactive UI (user interface) elements to an RPA (robotic process automation) object repository are provided. User input selecting a window of an application displayed on a display device is received. In response to receiving the user input selecting the window of the application, interactive UI elements in the window of the application are automatically identified. User input selecting one or more of the identified interactive UI elements in the window of the application is received. The one or more selected interactive UI elements are stored in an RPA object repository of an RPA system.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an RPA design interface exposes a set of DevOps activities for creating a DevOps pipeline. Exemplary DevOps activities include activities for pulling a target RPA workflow from a code repository, testing, building, and deploying the respective RPA workflow to a client's production environment. The pipeline may then be executed by conventional RPA robots, as any other RPA workflow. Endowing an RPA design tool with DevOps functionality substantially facilitates RPA development by enabling RPA developers to carry out DevOps without requiring specialized knowledge of DevOps software. Some embodiments further enable RPA developers to create complex DevOps pipelines combining DevOps activities with other robotic activities, such as interacting with GUIs, spreadsheets, and electronic communication applications, among others.

Abstract: User interface (UI) object descriptors, UI object libraries, UI object repositories, and UI object browsers for robotic process automation (RPA) are disclosed.

The UI object browser, UI object libraries, and UI object repository may facilitate reusability of UI element identification frameworks and derivatives thereof.

Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting video of execution of a robotic process automation (RPA) workflow at a remote computing system are provided. Execution of the RPA workflow by a remote computing system is initiated. Video of the execution of the RPA workflow by the remote computing system is received at a local computing system. The video is presented at the local computing system.
