Paris Saclay Competence Centre is constructed on top of the Paris-Saclay RIF. The Paris-Saclay RIF has been set up during the FP7 ECHORD++ project and is dedicated to robotics. The RIF provides a set of robotics equipment usable for feasibility studies and demonstration in a large number of application domains including Healthcare (rehabilitation, surgery, assistive robotics), Manufacturing, Logistics, Security, Transport, Intervention in Hazardous environment, Agro industries (food processing), Field robotics.

List of software
- XDE interactive multi-physics simulation software runtime licences. XDE is a software suite developed at CEA since more than 12 years and featuring interactive multi-physics simulation of multibody systems, rigid and (simply) deformable objects and contacts as well as a biomechanical digital human able to interact with its environment. Composed of different modules (XDE Physics, X-Fitting, X-Robotics, X-Ergonomics), XDE has applications in Virtual Prototyping, ergonomic studies, maintenance in virtual and mixed reality, training to dexterous gestures, robotics and cobotics simulation
- TAO (Computer Assisted Telerobotics) runtime licences. TAO is a telerobotics controller developed at CEA since more than 20 years and featuring force feedback master/slave control, robotics trajectory control, Cartesian/joint position control, virtual Mechanisms, position/force homothetic setting, gripper pursuit with camera, 3D graphical supervisor.

Indicative use cases
- Use cases needing arm motion in a free space with no contact with the environment and with velocity constraints (position and speed control): painting, welding,
- Use cases needing arm motion and involving contact with the environment and needing position and compliance: insertion, bolting, grasping, bin picking,
- Use cases needing arm motion and involving contact with the environment and needing hybrid position and force control : polishing, finishing, trimming, deadhead removal and cutting
- Use case needing arm motion and involving contact with the environment and needing force control: Force amplification and chiselling
- Use case needing mobility: logistics
Ecosystem
The Paris Saclay Competence Centre is connected to two national initiatives about ICT for manufacturing in France (automotive, aeronautics, ship building, etc.).
- The platform FLOR in the East region in France. This platform located near Metz is in development. It will be inaugurated in October 2016
- The platform Factory Lab in the Paris region will be inaugurated in September 2016
Both platforms have a more downstream activity than the Paris Saclay Competence Centre.
