how to connect a real Android mobile device on UiPath

The Android Automation Activities allows users to automate UI actions like tapping, swiping, entering/getting text, and taking a screenshot on an Android emulator or physical device using UiPath Studio and Appium, a test framework for mobile devices. The Android Emulator Scope will handle the connection between the device and Appium and launch the app/activity you’d like to run on the device. UI actions can be performed by dragging and dropping the appropriate activity into the scope and entering the selector/coordinates of the target UI element. Through this activity, you will be able to create workflows that interact with mobile applications and mobile browsers with relative ease.

For Using Mobile Automation in UiPath we have to integrate multiple dependency applications in UiPath for complete configuration use the below commands and setup:
