I want a robot to perform 2 different tasks on two different machines. So which robot should i use front office or back office robot? What will be the difference?
Hi,
Back Office Robots:
* Doesn’t need human intervention
* Use UiPath Orchestrator to initialize them
* Source code is also located at Orchestrator when published
* It uses **Orchestrator** as server
Front Office Robots:
* Needs human intervention
* Works on the same user’s desktop machne
* Source code is located on the samehne
* It uses **Front office serve** as server

Hi @jamnanin,
It is really hard to answer your question with the information you have provided, please provide the process details you want to automate on the 2 machines.

I have to 2 computers which have diff formats of excel files,which I want to send via email. I want a single robot to do both these things on these 2 computers…ie.
in computer 1 do task 1
and in computer 2 do task 2.
at different timeframes. How will I do this?
Don’t both types of robots run on the local machine? I think the front office robot interacts with the user while the back office robot doesn’t. I think this is the only difference between the two types.
Otherwise, both are run by UiRobot, on your local machine, and they are both triggered by the Orchestrator.
But I have a question, how would you initiate a robot on demand, when it is completely controlled by the Orchestrator? (I am assuming you don’t install the UiPath studio on an end user’s machine)
