# 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 > sys.path.append(‘../../’) > import selenium [#Web app access](https://gitlab.com/UnicodeLabs/OpenRPA/wikis/05.1.-Theory-&-practice:-Web-app-access-(Chrome,-Firefox,-Opera)) > 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)) > 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) > import cv2 [#Computer vision](https://gitlab.com/UnicodeLabs/OpenRPA/wikis/05.4.-Theory-&-practice:-Screen-capture-&-image-recognition) > import keyboard [#Keyboard manipulation](https://gitlab.com/UnicodeLabs/OpenRPA/wikis/05.3.-Theory-&-practice:-Keyboard-&-mouse-manipulation)

## 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: > cd “OpenRPAResourcesWPy32-3720python-3.7.2” > python.exe “path to your python script.py”

### Execute in the Python x64 To execute your python script in x32 bit version just write in command line from x32 python directory: > cd “OpenRPAResourcesWPy64-3720python-3.7.2.amd64” > python.exe “path to your python script.py”

### Execute from .cmd file In order to simplify the execution process you can write several code lines in file with the .cmd extansion: > 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 > sys.path.append(‘../../’) > import GUI > import keyboard > import subprocess > import time > > #Highlight the UI Object in Folder explorer > GUI.UIOSelector_FocusHighlight([{“class_name”:”CabinetWClass”,”backend”:”uia”},{“ctrl_index”:2},{“ctrl_index”:0},{“ctrl_index”:2},{“ctrl_index”:0}]) > >#Wait 2 seconds >time.sleep(3) > >#Loop: get child element of UI List >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(): >         print(str(lItem))
