远程调用机器人是蛮有意思的事情。
Automation Anywhere很早就开始提供远程调用的功能，以便第三方定制。可以是ChatBot或者Portal完成调用工作。通过这项工作可以让机器人不必跟用户一对一绑定。是可以让个体户瞬间变成集团协同作战的方式之一。
以下是比较偷懒的方法，干脆用vbs脚本。需要的话提供数据给机器人。这样我们可以节省email检查岗机器人的工时了。当然，企业级生产环境不建议使用vbs直接调用。林子大了。。。删库跑路还是要杜绝滴。
大致逻辑是验证身份->发出调用指令->查收结果。
这种方式只限于Unattended bot的调用。

最近UiPath和AA(Automation Anywhere)几乎同时发布了中文版文档。
