 Introduction
 ------------
 
-`Robot Framework <http://robotframework.org>`_ is a generic open source test
-automation framework for acceptance testing and acceptance test-driven
-development (ATDD). It has easy-to-use tabular test data syntax and it utilizes
-the keyword-driven testing approach. Its testing capabilities can be extended
-by test libraries implemented either with Python or Java, and users can create
-new higher-level keywords from existing ones using the same syntax that is used
-for creating test cases.
+`Robot Framework <http://robotframework.org>`_ is a generic open source
+automation framework for acceptance testing, acceptance test driven
+development (ATDD), and robotic process automation (RPA). It has simple plain
+text syntax and it can be extended easily with libraries implemented using
+Python or Java.
 
 Robot Framework is operating system and application independent. The core
 framework is implemented using `Python <http://python.org>`_, supports both
 Python 2 and Python 3, and runs also on `Jython <http://jython.org>`_ (JVM),
 `IronPython <http://ironpython.net>`_ (.NET) and `PyPy <http://pypy.org>`_.
 The framework has a rich ecosystem around it consisting of various generic
-test libraries and tools that are developed as separate projects. For more
+libraries and tools that are developed as separate projects. For more
 information about Robot Framework and the ecosystem, see
