About

Sandra Greisel is a researcher working at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and technology foresight, with a particular focus on the societal, strategic, and practical dimensions of emerging automation technologies. Her work addresses some of the most pressing questions facing the robotics community today: how should society ethically frame and govern intelligent machines, and how can organizations strategically plan for a rapidly evolving technological landscape? Among her notable contributions, Greisel co-authored the "Robot Manifesto" emerging from the European Robotics Forum 2018, a landmark effort to consolidate the robotics community's collective voice on AI and automation's societal impact, which has garnered 10 citations. Her research on megatrends as a foundation for R&D roadmapping in robotics (8 citations) offers organizations a structured methodology for long-term strategic planning amid technological disruption. More recently, she has turned her attention to consumer robotics product development, advocating for requirements engineering approaches grounded in real-world use cases rather than purely technology-driven methodologies. Greisel's scholarship bridges technical innovation and human-centered thinking, making her work valuable for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals navigating the complex future of robotics.
