About
Jakob Marolt is a rising researcher in the field of industrial ergonomics and human-robot collaboration, with a specific focus on warehouse automation and order picking systems. His work bridges the gap between technological innovation and human factors, exploring how collaborative robots (cobots) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) can be integrated into logistics environments while maintaining worker well-being and efficiency. In his highly cited 2024 study, Marolt conducted a combined laboratory and simulation evaluation of human–robot collaborative order picking, providing critical insights into ergonomic risks and performance trade-offs. His 2025 follow-up work broke new ground by examining how human age influences order picking performance when working alongside AMRs, using a robust multimethod approach of descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and post-experiment surveys. Though early in his career, Marolt’s research has already garnered attention for its practical relevance to an aging workforce and the rapid automation of warehouses. His work is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of logistics, occupational health, and the design of human-centered robotic systems.
