I'm looking for the main differences between random forest and gradient boosting and I don't understand whether random forest uses boosting techniques and if not, why. Thanks!

No.

Difference is subtle, but important - its Bagging ( Bootstrap aggregating ) algorhitm. resampling in Random Forrest is random, while in Boosting is not.

Confusion might come from fact, that AdaBoost ( boosting algorhitm ) can be using RF after few optimisation iterations.
