We want to build a RPA software.

The definition of RPA: A software 'robot' is a software application that replicates the actions of a human being interacting with the user interface of a computer system.

I searched RPA open-source software several days.

Is there any open-source tools for RPA? I know some commercial software like "BluePrism", "OpenSpan", etc.

Thanks for your advise.

Not quite open source, but free nonetheless. UiPath are also a player in the RPA space, and they have a community edition for individuals/non-profits etc... http://www.uipath.com/community

You can also use Python to build your own automation apps. I'm currently looking at this: https://automatetheboringstuff.com/

    UIPath would have been my first comment, but I also think that WorkFusion is now offering (or is planning) its platform with a community version – Stephane Paquet Jan 07 '17 at 22:43
  • WorkFusion is not open to download at this moment. – Jirong Hu Apr 19 '17 at 14:16
  • Well, if you take the definition of RPA from here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43481233/whats-the-technical-difference-between-robotic-process-automation-rpa-and-tes?s=2|1.6099 just take a free test automation tool (e.g. selenium) and add a machine learning lib, plus a few more libs for OCR and stuff, you can are close to a open source RPA stack. – gWay Aug 06 '17 at 15:35
