What are the types of robots you can create in an Orchestrator in UiPath

Question

In UiPath Orchestrator, what are the types of Robots which I can create to execute my tasks?

Answer 1

Hi Urvashi, there are 2 types of Robots that you can create in Orchestrator. One is Standard Robot and other is called Floating Robot:

• Standard Robot works on a single Standard Machine only, namely the one defined while creating it. This is ideal for the scenario in which a user always works on the same machine.
• Floating Robot works on any machine defined in Orchestrator, be it Standard or Template, as the machine name is not relevant while creating it. Only Attended and Development Robots can be floating, and as such, they become licensed automatically when you open the Robot tray. These types of Robots only work with Active Directory users and are useful if the machine you want to add a Robot to has a different name each time it is spawned.

Although, a Standard robot can be converted into a Floating Robot by using Convert to Floating button displayed alongside Standard Robot.
