About
Frank Krause’s research lies at the vital intersection of human factors, industrial robotics, and workplace well-being. His most influential work, the 2021 review “What about the human in human robot collaboration?” (90 citations), critically examines the often-overlooked human dimension in human-robot collaboration (HRC). Krause systematically addresses the gap between technological advancement and job quality, probing how HRC affects employee well-being and working environments. This foundational paper has become a key reference for researchers and engineers seeking to design collaborative systems that prioritize human needs. In earlier work, “The Potential and Acceptance of Exoskeletons in Industry” (2016, 35 citations), he explored the practical viability and user acceptance of wearable assistive technologies, bridging ergonomics and automation. Krause’s contributions are distinguished by their human-centric approach, challenging the field to move beyond technical efficiency toward holistic, ethical integration of robots in the workplace. His research is essential reading for anyone designing future factories where humans and machines truly collaborate.
