Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a kind of automation where software bots mimic human actions to complete a task. Repetitive and Rule-based human actions can be automated easily with various RPA tools.

This can be easily understood by the below terms:

• Robotic: Software bots that mimic human actions.

• Process: Sequence of steps that should be followed to complete a task.

• Automation: Task that can be done without human intervention.

There are many RPA tools available in the market in order to automate the tasks like Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, UiPath & Microsoft Power Automate.

Among these Microsoft - Power Automate was first introduced in 2019 and later in 2020, Microsoft - Power Automate Desktop (M-PAD) was introduced.
