Robotic Process Automation: on the Continuity of Applications Development at SOLEIL

SOLEIL is currently in the Technical Design Report (TDR) phase of a major upgrade of the facility. In its digital transformation, the development of processes and systems with a high degree of autonomy is at the center of the SOLEIL II project. One of the important components used to achieve a high degree of autonomy is the use of 6-axis robotic arms. Thus, in recent years, SOLEIL has developed and put into operation robotic applications to automate some processes of its beamlines and some processes of magnetic measurements of the insertion devices. The last year SOLEIL has been developing two new robotic applications, having thus continuity in the development of applications using its robotic standard. This paper describes these two new applications that being developed to automate the injection of liquid samples for BioSAXS experiments at the SWING beamline and to automate the mechanical and magnetic adjustment of the modules that compose an insertion device.
