Dvide turntable conveyor in the middle. Place a queue object between them. Let enter item this queue. Close output of queue. After process1 rotate queue by changing the rotation value of the object.

To let a robot do some motions, you add a process where you let move a single item between two or more queues, where you need some action. You let the robot transport this item.

If you you need a rotation over a time interval you can try it with an animation or by kinematics

In the given model the robot is not doing anything, because it is given a "Start Animation" task but there are no animations defined on the robot.

An easy (I think the easiest) way to get a robot to move without transported something is to use "TravelToLoc" tasks.
