Robotic Process Automation Implementation Challenges

Abstract

Robotic process automation (RPA) is a new technology that enables the automation of high-volume, manual, repeatable, routine, rule-based and unmotivating human tasks. The main goal of RPA is to replace tedious human tasks with a virtual workforce or a digital worker performing the same work as the human worker was doing. This allows human workers to focus on difficult tasks and problem solving. RPA tools are considered simple and powerful for specific business process automation. However, since the technology is still emerging, RPA faces some challenges during the implementation. This paper provides an overview of RPA and its challenges.
