Its a concept called Robotic Process Automation which essentially means automation of processes by giving it to a robot to do
How it is different than IA which uses ML and AI?
Intelligent Automation (IA) uses Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enable self-automation of processes/tasks which also is aimed to automate further tasks in future using its learning and intelligence abilities
However, RPA is seen as an early step to IA meaning RPA is missing self-automation capabilities of IA. With RPA, we can configure tasks to run.
