About

Jeroen Van den Bosch is a leading researcher in the field of human–robot collaboration, with a primary focus on sensor-enabled safety systems and intelligent manufacturing. His most-cited work, the 2024 review “Sensor-Enabled Safety Systems for Human–Robot Collaboration,” has already garnered 39 citations, establishing it as a key reference for integrating perception-driven safety into collaborative robotics. In this comprehensive scoping review, Van den Bosch systematically analyzes how sensors allow robots to detect human presence, perceive dynamic environments, and adjust their actions in real time—fundamentally advancing the paradigm of safe, shared workspaces. His contributions bridge the gap between theoretical safety frameworks and practical implementation, offering a structured taxonomy of sensor types, control strategies, and risk mitigation approaches. Beyond this flagship review, Van den Bosch’s research continues to shape the design of adaptive, human-aware robotic systems, influencing both academic discourse and industrial safety standards. His work is essential reading for engineers and researchers developing next-generation collaborative robots that prioritize human well-being without sacrificing productivity.
