1. Standard Libraries
The libraries that Robot Framework can import and use directly, found in the directory python\Lib\site-packages\robot\libraries. For details, see the documentation.
Builtin, contains the keywords that are needed most often. It is imported automatically without an import, so it is always available.
Dialogs, provides ways to pause test execution and to take input from the user.
Collections, provides a set of keywords for handling Python lists and dictionaries.
OperatingSystem, allows various operating-system-related tasks to be performed. Allows various operating-system-related tasks to be performed, so that the various operating-system-related tasks run on the system where Robot Framework is running.
Remote, part of the remote library interface. It has no keywords of its own; it is a special library acting as a proxy between Robot Framework and the test library. The actual test library can run on a different machine and can be implemented in any programming language that supports the XML-RPC protocol.
Screenshot, provides keywords to capture and store screenshots of the desktop.
String, a library for handling strings and verifying their content, used to generate, modify and verify strings.
Telnet, supports connecting to a Telnet server and executing commands over the open connection.

Database Library (Python), a Python-based database test library. Supports any Python interpreter, including Jython.
watir-robot, a web test library using the Watir tool.
seleniumlibrary, a web test library that internally uses the fairly popular selenium tool. It relies on the early selenium 1.0 and is itself already outdated.
