About

Haowen Sheng is a rising researcher at the forefront of sustainable manufacturing and Industry 5.0, specializing in human-robot collaboration for end-of-life (EOL) product processing. His work addresses the critical challenge of efficiently recycling and remanufacturing products as resource scarcity and environmental regulations intensify. Sheng’s major contributions lie in developing advanced optimization algorithms for complex disassembly and remanufacturing systems. Notably, his 2025 paper on "Batch EOL products human-robot collaborative remanufacturing process planning and scheduling for industry 5.0" (11 citations) pioneers integrated planning and scheduling frameworks that harmonize human dexterity with robotic precision. His 2024 study on "Human–Robot Collaboration on a Disassembly-Line Balancing Problem with an Advanced Multiobjective Discrete Bees Algorithm" (8 citations) introduces a novel bio-inspired approach to optimize disassembly line efficiency. By demonstrating how automation can enhance—rather than replace—human roles in recycling operations, Sheng is shaping the transition toward more sustainable, human-centric industrial ecosystems. His work is already influencing how manufacturers approach product lifecycle management, making him a key voice in the sustainable manufacturing research community.
