About

Dana Clauer’s research lies at the intersection of Industry 4.0, autonomous mobile robotics (AMRs), and flexible logistics systems. Her most-cited work, “Usage of Autonomous Mobile Robots Outdoors – an Axiomatic Design Approach” (2021, 16 citations), addresses a critical gap in material flow automation by extending AMR applications beyond controlled indoor environments. Using axiomatic design principles, Clauer systematically tackles the challenges of outdoor deployment—such as variable terrain, weather, and navigation—offering a structured framework that bridges theoretical design and practical implementation. This contribution is particularly timely as global supply chains demand more adaptive, resilient solutions. Beyond this flagship paper, her broader portfolio explores how evolving logistics structures can leverage robotic autonomy to enhance efficiency and scalability. Clauer’s work not only advances the engineering of mobile robots but also provides actionable insights for industries transitioning to smart manufacturing. Her research is a valuable resource for students and engineers seeking to understand the real-world deployment of AMRs in complex, unstructured environments.
