Abstract
Systems and methods for executing a robotic process automation (RPA) workflow are provided. The RPA workflow is executed by a first robot. The execution of the RPA workflow is suspended by the first robot. A current context of the RPA workflow is serialized at a time of the suspension and the current context of the RPA workflow is stored. The execution of the RPA workflow is resumed by a second robot based on a triggering condition by retrieving the current context of the RPA workflow. The first robot and the second robot may be the same robot or different robots.
