About

Carsten Feldmann is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of industrial automation, human-machine collaboration, and process optimization. His scholarship spans two complementary domains: the physical augmentation of human workers through wearable robotics, and the digital automation of business processes through Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Feldmann's most-cited contribution, a 2020 procedural model for exoskeleton implementation in intralogistics, addresses a pressing challenge in modern warehousing and logistics — how to effectively deploy body-worn robotic support systems that reduce physical strain on workers. Drawing on comprehensive literature analysis and real-world case studies, the work provides practitioners with actionable guidance on success factors for exoskeleton adoption. His subsequent body of work, including a practical handbook on RPA and accompanying economic evaluation frameworks, reflects a broader commitment to helping organizations navigate intelligent process automation decisions. Notably, his German-language publications demonstrate a dedication to making these concepts accessible to practitioners in German-speaking markets. While his citation counts remain modest — reflecting the recency of his publications — Feldmann's interdisciplinary focus on both physical and digital automation positions him as a thoughtful voice in the evolving conversation around Industry 4.0 and the future of work.
