About

Emily Jantz is a leading researcher in force-controlled robotics, with a primary focus on advancing robot-based sensitive assembly and human-robot interaction. Her most cited work, "Performance Indicator for Benchmarking Force-Controlled Robots" (2018, 13 citations), introduces a novel metric to evaluate how robots manage unknown environments using only force feedback—a critical challenge in modern automation. This contribution provides a standardized framework for benchmarking robotic systems, enabling more reliable and predictable performance in delicate tasks like assembly and contact-rich manipulation. Jantz’s research addresses the inherent unpredictability of physical interactions, offering solutions that improve robot adaptability and safety. Her work is foundational for industries seeking to deploy force-controlled robots in complex, real-world settings. With growing recognition for her innovative benchmarking methods, Jantz continues to shape the future of intelligent, force-aware robotics.
