Is it about robots, bots or both?
So is this about robots, bots or both?
It is no different than any other automation of recording scripts that are being executed by a human. "Robotic" is spin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.161.87.14 (talk) 19:00, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
For software robots the term is "bot" hence the name should be changed if it's not also about robots.

- You can't figure this out on your own by consulting the sources provided in the article or just perform a simple web search?
- From "AI interns: Software already taking jobs from humans", "Having software agents that could take some of the simpler claims meant Barclays could employ fewer people.", "Massachusetts-based Nuance Communications is building AIs..."
- From "Blue Prism’s robotic process automation offers scope for artificial intelligence", "The “robot” in question is a software application that replicates the action of a human being interacting with a software application, such as, for example, data entry into an SAP system, or a business process." (COI WARNING: market research company consultant opinion piece)
- From "Robotic Automation Emerges as a Threat to Traditional Low-Cost Outsourcing", "...the use of software robots to handle routine business processes has another attraction..." (COI WARNING: market research company report for sale)
- From "Robotic Process Automation Opens New Doors For Finance And Risk", "Unlike their human counterparts, bots work 24 hours a day, seven days a week..."
- From "Robotic process automation: the latest promise to liberate back offices", ""IT robots (automation software) are programmed to be used with data-driven and rule-based processes" -- DanielPenfield (talk) 09:37, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
- From "What is Robotic Process Automation, and what benefits could it bring to your enterprise?", "This is where Robotic Process Automation (RPA) with AI comes in, enabling business and IT teams in an enterprise to automate processes using a virtual software robot." (hosted on website blacklisted by Wikipedia, just Google the article name)
- From "Is Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Just Marketing Speak?", "All we’re doing here is using software automation more cleverly and then referring to the software as “software robots”."
- If the name "robotic process automation" is so widely used, should you really be changing the article title? -- DanielPenfield (talk) 09:37, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
