About

Dominic Loske is a leading researcher in warehouse logistics and human-robot collaboration, whose work sits at the intersection of intralogistics operations, automation, and behavioral operations management. His research primarily investigates how autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) can be integrated with human workers to optimize order picking systems — one of the most labor-intensive and costly processes in modern supply chains. Loske's most influential contribution, "Together, we travel" (2023, 25 citations), offers empirical insights into hybrid human-robot order picking systems in retail warehousing, directly addressing pressing industry challenges such as labor shortages and rising personnel costs. His complementary work on AMR-assisted picker-to-parts systems (2022, 19 citations) advances mathematical modeling for two-block warehouse configurations, while his system-level AGV investigation (2025, 10 citations) broadens the analytical scope of collaborative robotics. What distinguishes Loske is his commitment to the human dimension of automation. His studies on learning curves (2020), forklift operator fatigue (2021), and age-related performance differences in robotic environments (2025) reveal a researcher deeply attentive to worker psychology and ergonomics. With over 70 cumulative citations across recent years, Loske's scholarship offers valuable, evidence-based guidance for retailers and logistics practitioners navigating the automation frontier.
