Synchrobot is an autonomous mobile robot that supports the machine operators of Elettra (*), a synchrotron radiation facility, in tasks such as diagnostic and measurement campaigns being capable of moving in the restricted area when the machine is running. In general, telepresence robots are mobile robot platforms capable of providing two way audio and video communication. Recently many companies are entering the business of telepresence robots. This paper describes our experience with tools like synchrobot and also commercially available telepresence robots. Based on our experience, we present a set of guidelines for using and integrating telepresence robots in the daily life of a research infrastructure and explore potential future development scenarios.

Funding: Work supported in part by the Italian Ministry of University and Research under grants FIRB-RBAP045JF2 and FIRB-RBAP06AWK3
After installation and commissioning, the Free Electron Laser facility FERMI is now open to users. As of December 2012, three experimental stations dedicated to different scientific areas, are available for user research proposals: Low Density Matter (LDM), Elastic & Inelastic Scattering (EIS), and Diffraction & Projection Imaging (DiProI). A flexible and highly configurable common framework has been developed and successfully deployed for experiment management and shot-by-shot data acquisition. This paper describes the software architecture behind all the experiments performed so far; the combination of the EXECUTER script engine with a specialized data acquisition device (FERMIDAQ) based on TANGO. Finally, experimental applications, performance results and future developments are presented and discussed.
