A device for plugging an insertion area of an electronic expansion card into a plug-in coupling, wherein the plug-in coupling comprises a slot with a depth T along a depth axis TA, a width B along a width axis BA and a length L along a longitudinal axis LA, wherein the insertion area of the expansion card is dimensioned in such a way that it can be fully inserted into the slot, and wherein the depth axis TA and longitudinal axis LA define an insertion plane, comprising: - a first interface for providing the plug-in coupling, - a second interface for providing the expansion card, - a first robot manipulator with an effector designed and set up to pick up, handle and release the expansion card, and - a control unit for controlling/regulating the first robot manipulator , wherein the control unit is set up and designed to execute a control program with the following steps: the first robot manipulator picks up the expansion card at/from the second interface with the effector and guides the expansion card along a specified trajectory T with a specified target orientation O target (R T ) of the insertion area to the plug-in coupling provided on the first interface, wherein O target (R T ) defines the target orientation of the insertion area of the expansion card picked up by the effector along the trajectory T for locations RT of the trajectory T, wherein, for the robot manipulator to plug the insertion area into the plug-in coupling, impedance-controlled and/or admittance-controlled tilting movements of the insertion area at the insertion plane are carried out until a specified limit value condition G1 for a moment of force acting on the effector and/or a specified limit value condition G2 of a moment of force acting at the effector is reached or exceeded and/or a provided moment of force/moment-of-force signature and/or a position/speed/acceleration signature at the effector is reached or exceeded, which indicates/indicate that plugging the insertion area into the plug-in coupling has successfully completed within predefined tolerances. - a first interface for providing the plug-in coupling, - a second interface for providing the expansion card, - a first robot manipulator with an effector designed and set up to pick up, handle and release the expansion card, and - a control unit for controlling/regulating the first robot manipulator , wherein the control unit is set up and designed to execute a control program with the following steps: the first robot manipulator picks up the expansion card at/from the second interface with the effector and guides the expansion card along a specified trajectory T with a specified target orientation O target (R T ) of the insertion area to the plug-in coupling provided on the first interface, wherein O target (R T ) defines the target orientation of the insertion area of the expansion card picked up by the effector along the trajectory T for locations RT of the trajectory T, wherein, for the robot manipulator to plug the insertion area into the plug-in coupling, impedance-controlled and/or admittance-controlled tilting movements of the insertion area at the insertion plane are carried out until a specified limit value condition G1 for a moment of force acting on the effector and/or a specified limit value condition G2 of a moment of force acting at the effector is reached or exceeded and/or a provided moment of force/moment-of-force signature and/or a position/speed/acceleration signature at the effector is reached or exceeded, which indicates/indicate that plugging the insertion area into the plug-in coupling has successfully completed within predefined tolerances. <EOS>
