UiPath-ADPv1 Attended Automation Practice Question
An attended robot is deployed to a user's machine. The user wants to start the automation by pressing a keyboard shortcut. Which UiPath component allows the user to trigger the robot using a global hotkey?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse the Robot service with Assistant; the Robot executes but Assistant is the user-facing trigger mechanism.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
UiPath Assistant
UiPath Assistant is the correct component because it provides a user-friendly interface for attended users to run automations and supports global hotkeys. Users can assign a hotkey to a process in Assistant, and pressing it launches the automation. This is the standard way to enable keyboard shortcut triggers for attended robots.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
UiPath Studio
Why it's wrong here
UiPath Studio is the development environment used to build automations. It is not intended for running attended automations in production. While you can run a process from Studio during development, it does not offer a global hotkey feature for end users. Using Studio for triggering would be impractical and not aligned with attended automation deployment.
- ✓
UiPath Assistant
Why this is correct
UiPath Assistant is the component that runs on the user's desktop and allows them to start attended automations. It supports global hotkeys that users can configure for each process. When the hotkey is pressed, Assistant launches the associated automation. This directly fulfills the requirement for a keyboard shortcut trigger.
- ✗
UiPath Orchestrator
Why it's wrong here
Orchestrator is a server-side component for managing and monitoring robots, not for triggering attended automations via local hotkeys. It can schedule or trigger jobs, but it does not provide a desktop hotkey mechanism. The user would need to access Orchestrator's web interface, which is not a keyboard shortcut on the local machine.
- ✗
UiPath Robot
Why it's wrong here
UiPath Robot is the execution agent that runs processes, but it does not provide a user interface for triggering. The Robot is managed by Assistant or Orchestrator. While the Robot executes the automation, the hotkey configuration and triggering are handled by Assistant, not the Robot service itself.
