Question

What are Robots in UiPath orchestrator and what does they do?

Answer 1

Hey Abhilasha, a Robot is an execution host that runs processes built in UiPath Studio. Robots can execute processes under custom settings. You can configure logging level, font smoothing, and resolution in the Settings tab while creating or editing a robot.

The Robots page enables you to add robots, edit them, view their status and license state, change the environment(s) they are assigned to, and the runtime settings. Additionally, you can display the logs generated by a single Robot. When a Robot is busy (executing a process), you cannot edit the following information:

• Username
• Machine
• Type

Regardless of the Windows version a machine is running on, if you have multiple users on it, you can register a Robot on each of the users. This feature is called High-Density Robots and ensures a full utilization of each machine at your disposal at its maximum potential. It can be applied to all types of Robots (Attended, Unattended and NonProduction). The High-Density environment has the following advantages:

• On a machine with a Windows Server (2008 R2 or 2012 R2 or 2016) operating system:
  • you can run the same process with all Robots in the same time;
  • you can run different processes with all Robots in the same time.
