About
Thomas Radinger’s research centers on the intersection of functional safety, industrial robotics, and the emerging paradigms of Industry 4.0. His major contributions lie in developing practical, cost-effective safety architectures for autonomous and collaborative robotic systems, specifically targeting the barriers faced by small and medium-sized enterprises. In his most-cited work, “Development of a Safety Industry 4.0 Production Environment” (2017, 5 citations), Radinger addresses the financial and interdisciplinary knowhow hurdles that prevent SMEs from adopting modern autonomous mobile robots. He further advances this field with “Functional Safety Concept for a Handling Robot Built on Optical Systems” (2017, 2 citations), where he introduces a novel safety concept using the Pilz SafetyEye for three-dimensional workspace monitoring of an industrial robot. This work, conducted at the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien’s own digital factory, demonstrates a tangible application of optical systems to ensure safe human-robot collaboration. Radinger’s research is notable for its direct industrial relevance, offering scalable safety solutions that bridge the gap between cutting-edge automation and real-world manufacturing constraints.
