Title
Employing Robotic Process Automation (RPA) for Streamlining a Business Process
Goal
Description
RPA bots could be implemented in areas as diverse as finance, compliance, legal, customer service, operations, and IT (student’s choice). Students can choose to implement attended automation, i.e., software robots that can work alongside humans to share the workload in real-time. In case of unattended robots, they should be scheduled to handle long processes or automations without the need of human interaction. Prove the usability of RPA in several use-cases (https://docs.uipath.com/robot/docs/attended-vs-unattended).
Resources
An RPA tool (e.g. UiPath with the Academic Alliance software version for Heriot-Watt students). To download your free copy of the UiPath Studio software, open the URL: https://www.uipath.com/landing/academic-studio-download. It is a private form designated only for the students and educators who are affiliated to the UiPath Academic Alliance & UiPath Learning Partner institutions. UiPath Learning offers its partner organizations the opportunity to use the UiPath Studio, StudioX, Assistant and Robot at no charge through a dedicated Learning license, which is free to students and educators alike, for teaching, learning and research. • The license entitles the user to access the Automation Developer suite (UiPath Studio, StudioX, Assistant and Robot) for testing and execution of the automations. • The Academic Alliance Edition of UiPath Studio is a locked version of the software aligned to the current Studio course resources provided by the UiPath Academic Alliance Partners and UiPath Learning Partners. Moreover, the same courses offer a complete training for the current UiPath Certified Professional exams. • The license key allows the activation of the UiPath Studio software on 2 different machines. • The license type granted is Named User, and this will be applied solely to User Mode installs. • Each Academic Alliance Edition license expires after 365 days upon its activation, and it is subject to being extended as long as the Academic Alliance partnership is maintained.
