Robotic Desktop Automation in 2021: In-depth Guide

RDA, also called attended RPA, is Robotic Process Automation (RPA) for the masses. Just for clarity, we have seen the terms "RDA", "attended RPA", "personal bots" or "software assistants" used to mean the same type of program. We'll refer to this type of program as "RDA" in this article but we also refer to it as "attended RPA" in other articles. Sadly or luckily (based on how you view AI), cognitive capabilities of bots are quite limited when compared to humans. Therefore most of the time it's not possible to completely automate a process, there are parts of a process that need to be evaluated by humans.
