About

Katarina Rojko is a researcher whose work centers on the intersection of industrial automation, robotics, and the socioeconomic transformations driven by Industry 4.0. Her scholarship addresses one of the most pressing questions in contemporary manufacturing: how the rapid proliferation of industrial robots reshapes economic structures, labor markets, and industrial ecosystems. Her most cited work, "Impacts of the Transformation to Industry 4.0 in the Manufacturing Sector: The Case of the U.S." (2020, 17 citations), offers a rigorous empirical analysis of key performance indicators to assess the economic and social consequences of automation in American industry. Complementing this, her paper on "Sustainable Industry Robotization" (2020, 7 citations) broadens the lens to examine global manufacturing trends over the past decade and projects future trajectories of robot adoption, drawing on comprehensive publicly available data. Together, these contributions position Rojko as a thoughtful analyst of how technological disruption can be understood and managed responsibly. Her focus on sustainability within robotization reflects a commitment to ensuring that industrial progress aligns with broader societal well-being. Researchers and students exploring automation policy, smart manufacturing, or the future of work will find her empirically grounded perspective particularly valuable.
