All the processings on ROBACUS are recorded into verbatim document files. These files are called software robots as they can re-enact the processing on their own.

To invoke robot processing, simply click the option down the processing route you want, Or use the [Enter] key to accept the robot default value and mouse click(indicated by the mouse pointer) Clicking the left mouse button invokes the step-by-step processing. Clicking the right button invokes automatedton for automated processing by robot. You can always interupt and take over the control by clicking the left button. At that point, you can just modify the processing by entering new data.

For lengthy processing, a flowpath schematics is displayed at the beginning of the processing that contains all the components of the processing. By clicking a component box will direct the robot to execute to that component offline, so that the user can start processing at that component. A clicking of the right button would again direct the robot to execute automatically to the end of processing, unless interrupted by a left button press.

The robot file is named with the fourth letter being 'r'. The first 2 letters indicate the program. The 3rd, type of processing(input, output, generation, etc). The 5th and 6th indicate the problem model. In certain cases it is possible to modify the robot file directly to make the desired modification to the problem. But this does not guarranttee the processing will be consistent and correct. So such practice is not recommended.
