We want to build a RPA software.

The definition of RPA: A software 'robot' is a software application that replicates the actions of a human being interacting with the user interface of a computer system.

I searched RPA open-source software several days.

Is there any open-source tools for RPA? I know some commercial software like "BluePrism", "OpenSpan", etc.

Thanks for your advise.

Not quite open source, but free nonetheless. UiPath are also a player in the RPA space, and they have a community edition for individuals/non-profits etc... http://www.uipath.com/community

You can also use Python to build your own automation apps. I'm currently looking at this: https://automatetheboringstuff.com/
