According to your image I can see, there is only one file. testexcel.xlxs. So what you can do is you can specify the file path. You haven't posted the HTML Code and the Programming Language that you are trying to implement this. The following code snippet is written in Java just to take an idea.
// Get the input field id
WebElement uploadElement = driver.findElement(By.id("uploadfile"));
// Enter the file path onto the file-selection input field
uploadElement.sendKeys("H:\\Excelfile\\testexcel.xlxs");
// Click the "SUBMIT" button
driver.findElement(By.name("submit")).click();

Sendkeys is one of method to upload file and another method.
Robot Class in a separate class which is part of Java not a part of Selenium, Robot class is mainly created for automating Java Platform implementation. The primary purpose of Robot is to facilitate automated testing of Java platform implementations. In simple terms, the class provides control over the mouse and keyboard devices.
driver.findElement(By.xpath("Path of that element")).click();
StringSelection strSel = new StringSelection("upload file path");
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(strSel, null);
Robot robot = new Robot();
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
Thread.sleep(3000);
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
