Bot Runner device requirements

Review the hardware requirements, compatible operating system versions, and browser types supported for creating and running bots on a device. The same requirements are also valid for Automation 360 Community Edition.

Hardware requirements for registered devices

You communicate with the Control Room through a registered local machine (device). Bot Creators and Bot Runners use the registered devices to create and run bots. Part of registering a device with Automation 360 is installing a Bot Agent.

For more information on the minimum hardware requirements of a device for installing the Bot Agent, see Hardware requirements,

Additional CPU or processor on registered devices

AISense Recorder: Additional CPU or processor is required on a device if the existing CPUs are utilized by customer applications. It is also required in case of a VDI infrastructure where CPU or processors are shared across the infrastructure.

Platform compatibility for registered devices

A device used to connect to the Control Room and perform bot tasks must meet the platform requirements.

Note: Platform requirements are different for Control Room and Bot Agent.
