Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a maturing technology in the field of Business Process Management (BPM) that automates intensive routine tasks previously performed by a human user on the User Interface (UI) of a computer system, by means of a software robot. To date, RPA tools available in the market strongly rely on the ability of human experts to manually implement the routines to automate. This work addresses the limitations of current manual RPA development by introducing SmartRPA, a cross-platform software tool. SmartRPA analyzes UI logs of past routine executions to generate software robots capable of handling intermediate user inputs, thereby reducing development time and error rates.

Abstract
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a maturing technology in the field of Business Process Management (BPM) that automates intensive routine tasks previously performed by a human user on the User Interface (UI) of a computer system, by means of a software robot. To date, RPA tools available in the market strongly rely on the ability of human experts to manually implement the routines to automate. This work addresses the limitations of current manual RPA development by introducing SmartRPA, a cross-platform software tool. SmartRPA analyzes UI logs of past routine executions to generate software robots capable of handling intermediate user inputs, thereby reducing development time and error rates.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
