About

Caroline Spinner is a researcher in industrial engineering and human-robot collaboration, focusing on the economic and ergonomic design of hybrid work systems. Her key research areas include Mensch-Roboter-Zusammenarbeit (human-robot collaboration), digital planning tools, and the integration of ergonomic assessment into production system design. Her most cited work, "Wirtschaftliche Mensch-Roboter-Arbeitssystemgestaltung" (2021), introduces a framework for economically viable human-robot work systems, combining parametric simulation with ergonomic evaluation to optimize both productivity and worker well-being. This contribution addresses a critical gap in manufacturing: how to design collaborative workplaces that are not only safe and ergonomic but also cost-effective. With 4 citations, her work is gaining recognition among researchers and practitioners in industrial engineering and automation. Spinner’s research is notable for bridging technical simulation with practical economic constraints, offering actionable insights for factories transitioning to collaborative robotics. Her work is particularly relevant for students and researchers interested in Industry 4.0, workplace ergonomics, and sustainable automation.
