The aim of the thesis is to study the use of robotic systems and automation, which are key elements of industry 4.0, within CERN activities with the Sample Changer Robot as the main case study and the presentation of examples that can be reused in the industry.
CERN is a European research organization that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. Its main function is to provide the particle accelerators and other infrastructure needed for high-energy physics research. Today, CERN is not strictly limited to Atomic and Nuclear Physics, but it also produces knowledge and research activities in a wide range of science such as computer science, telecommunications and medicine. In order to increase safety and machine availability of all the experiments and activities carried out on the premises of the organization, and with a great focus on the safety of personnel in harsh environments with dangerous materials, a number of automation and robotic systems have been implemented by the Engineering department (EN) and the robotics team (SMM - MRO) of the organization. This thesis aims at analyzing the usage of these applications and systems with the main case study of the << Robotic Sample Exchanger for radioactive samples measurements >> and examines various uses of these examples in the industry.
