Fermilab Deploys Collaborative Robot for Particle Accelerator Assembly

Fermilab is integrating collaborative robots, or cobots, into the assembly of its 215-meter-long PIP-II linear particle accelerator. These cobots will assist human workers in clean rooms, aiming to reduce errors and enhance precision in building superconducting radio-frequency components. This initiative supports the PIP-II project, which will generate high-power proton beams for new physics experiments like DUNE.
