Automation and Bot Development

Catalog description

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a technology that is transforming the way modern businesses operate. The same way the advent of computers shifted people from using paper to using computers, the arrival of RPA is bringing another shift in the workplace, causing people to perform their jobs using information instead of computers. Over time, mundane and repetitive computer software tasks that humans perform will be replaced by software “bots”. As RPA shifts work from computers to information, one of the new jobs that will emerge across most industries will be that of a “bot developer”. Learning this technology positions students for job opportunities in this field. A bot developer must be able to design and create software robots by translating work people perform on computers into automated “scripts”, or sets of instructions, that are then programmed into robots.
