difference between robitic process automation and artificial intelligence

Dear Aspirant,

Artificial intelligence (AI) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) are two of the most successful and booming technologies in today's era.

AI is a vast field which works as an umbrella and RPA is under it. AI describes a computer’s ability to think and act like humans whereas RPA is a rule-based software that has no intelligence and automates repetitive tasks being assigned.

Artificial Intelligence and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) are not interchangeable. Both are different things but when AI is integrated with RPA, it allows the automation process to begin much faster to streamline Business Process Automation.

In short, we can say that with AI, we can add brain to our system to follow instructions as well as do processing on it and with RPA, we can make our system follow our instructions.

Hey,

The field of automation and robotics is concerned with the design and manufacture of robots. They manipulate and process robotic actions using computers. These robots are then employed in production to speed up the process. Automation is the process of performing jobs normally performed by humans using physical machinery, computer software, and other technology. Robotics is the process of designing, building, and deploying robots to complete a certain task.

While the modeling of human intelligence processes by machines, particularly computer systems, is known as artificial intelligence. Expert systems, natural language processing, speech recognition, and machine vision are examples of AI applications.
