Abstract
The high photon flux at synchrotron beamlines allows for the measurement of fast dynamical processes. However, beamline radiation-safety protocols prohibit human intervention during X-ray experiments, limiting the ability to perform versatile real-time sample manipulations during continuous data acquisition. Here we present a robotic platform at an X-ray scattering beamline to enable real-time sample handling and processing in the experimental hutch, revealing previously inaccessible transient in-situ dynamics in perovskite thin films. This modular multi-tool robotic architecture enables in-hutch sample manipulation beyond human-access constraints, establishing a foundation for automated and autonomous synchrotron experimentation.
