This document discusses robotic process automation (RPA) and how it can be empowered by artificial intelligence (AI). RPA involves using software "robots" to emulate human actions and automate repetitive tasks. The document outlines how RPA is being used increasingly in academic research and industry reports. It also describes how the UiPath platform allows users to build automated workflows through a visual drag-and-drop interface and how UiPath robots can incorporate various AI skills like computer vision, document understanding, and conversational understanding to take on more complex automated tasks. The document provides an example of invoice processing and concludes with a demonstration of face detection using AI services from Azure Cognitive Services.
