abstract = {{The fourth industrial revolution, the current trend of automation and data interconnection in industrial technologies, is becoming an essential tool to boost maintenance and availability for space applications, warehouse logistics, particle accelerators and for harsh environments in general. The main pillars of Industry 4.0 are Internet of Things (IoT), Wireless Sensors, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning and Robotics. We are finding more and more way to interconnect existing processes using technology as a connector between machines, operations, equipment and people. Facility maintenance and operation is becoming more streamlined with earlier notifications, simplifying the control and monitor of the operations. Core to success and future growth in this field is the use of robots to perform various tasks, particularly those that are repetitive, unplanned or dangerous, which humans either prefer to avoid or are unable to carry out due to hazards, size constraints, or the extreme environments in which they take place. To be operated in a reliable way within particle accelerator complexes, robot controls and interfaces need to be included in the accelerator control frameworks, which is not obvious when movable systems are operating within a harsh environment. In this paper, the operational controls for robots at CERN is presented. Current robot controls at CERN will be detailed and the use case of the Train Inspection Monorail robot control will be presented. }},
