About
Dipl.-Wirt. Ing. Jan Sender is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and human-robot collaboration, with a primary focus on mechanical joining processes for aerospace assembly. His most notable contribution is the development of an innovative human-robot-collaboration system for solid self-piercing riveting in final aircraft assembly—a process that, when performed manually, imposes significant physical strain on workers. By designing a specialized tool and collaborative workflow, Sender's work directly addresses ergonomic challenges while maintaining precision and efficiency in high-stakes production environments. His 2018 publication on this topic has garnered 17 citations, reflecting its relevance to both academia and industry seeking safer, smarter automation solutions. Sender's research uniquely bridges engineering and economic perspectives, as indicated by his Dipl.-Wirt. Ing. qualification, enabling him to evaluate not only technical feasibility but also cost-effectiveness and workforce implications. His work stands as a key reference for researchers exploring human-robot interaction in heavy manufacturing, offering a practical blueprint for integrating collaborative robots into physically demanding tasks without sacrificing productivity.
