# About The Robot tool is the main module for production process automation. It has no graphic/console interface. All low-level actions to OS are perfoming by the Robot tool in OpenRPA.
# How to use You can use the robot by the several ways: - In Python script - In Studio script (n/a)
## Create python script In order to use robot just add Robot tool folder in work directory and add line “import GUI” in your script. ### Example > import sys <br> > sys.path.append(‘../../’)<br> > import selenium [#Web app access](https://gitlab.com/UnicodeLabs/OpenRPA/wikis/05.1.-Theory-&-practice:-Web-app-access-(Chrome,-Firefox,-Opera))<br> > import GUI [#Win32 & UI Automation access](https://gitlab.com/UnicodeLabs/OpenRPA/wikis/05.2.-Theory-&-practice:-Desktop-app-UI-access-(win32-and-UI-automation-dlls)) <br> > import pyautogui [#Screen capture/recognition](https://gitlab.com/UnicodeLabs/OpenRPA/wikis/05.4.-Theory-&-practice:-Screen-capture-&-image-recognition) [#Mouse manipulation](https://gitlab.com/UnicodeLabs/OpenRPA/wikis/05.3.-Theory-&-practice:-Keyboard-&-mouse-manipulation)<br> > import cv2 [#Computer vision](https://gitlab.com/UnicodeLabs/OpenRPA/wikis/05.4.-Theory-&-practice:-Screen-capture-&-image-recognition)<br> > import keyboard [#Keyboard manipulation](https://gitlab.com/UnicodeLabs/OpenRPA/wikis/05.3.-Theory-&-practice:-Keyboard-&-mouse-manipulation)<br>
## Execute python script The OpenRPA is fully portable solution. It contains own python enviroment both 32 and 64 bit versions. So, you can execute your python script in several ways: - Execute in python x32 (OpenRPAResourcesWPy32-3720python-3.7.2) - Execute in python x64 (OpenRPAResourcesWPy64-3720python-3.7.2.amd64) - Execute from .cmd file
### Execute in the Python x32 To execute your python script in x32 bit version just write in command line from x32 python directory: <br> > cd “OpenRPAResourcesWPy32-3720python-3.7.2”<br> > python.exe “path to your python script.py”<br>
### Execute in the Python x64 To execute your python script in x32 bit version just write in command line from x32 python directory: <br> > cd “OpenRPAResourcesWPy64-3720python-3.7.2.amd64”<br> > python.exe “path to your python script.py”<br>
### Execute from .cmd file In order to simplify the execution process you can write several code lines in file with the .cmd extansion: <br> > cd %~dp0 > copy /Y ..ResourcesWPy32-3720python-3.7.2python.exe ..ResourcesWPy32-3720python-3.7.2OpenRPAOrchestrator.exe > …ResourcesWPy32-3720python-3.7.2OpenRPAOrchestrator.exe orchestratorMain.py > pause >nul
## Use in studio script (n/a)
> import sys <br> > sys.path.append(‘../../’)<br> > import GUI<br> > import keyboard<br> > import subprocess<br> > import time<br> > > #Highlight the UI Object in Folder explorer<br> > GUI.UIOSelector_FocusHighlight([{“class_name”:”CabinetWClass”,”backend”:”uia”},{“ctrl_index”:2},{“ctrl_index”:0},{“ctrl_index”:2},{“ctrl_index”:0}])<br> > >#Wait 2 seconds<br> >time.sleep(3)<br> > >#Loop: get child element of UI List<br> >for lItem in GUI.UIOSelector_Get_UIO([{“class_name”:”CabinetWClass”,”backend”:”uia”},{“ctrl_index”:2},{“ctrl_index”:0},{“ctrl_index”:2},{“ctrl_index”:0}]).children():<br> > print(str(lItem))<br>
