Automated Robotic Processes in Finance
Automating processes with robotics (aka Robotic Process Automation or RPA) has become a topic of interest ever since the 1990s and has gained more popularity in the last ten years.
In part, this interest has something to do with the long fascination humans have had with robots. When I was a child, I used to watch re-runs of the Jetsons on TV (circa 1960), where Rosie the robot would run around the house performing various chores. The idea of offloading important but mundane daily tasks to machines has had staying power.
